Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'd love it, but we need a sure win this time. Not getting a 50 year old white dude will make it harder. We've tried a shitty blonde, an old guy, and a black woman. We need someone who will take votes from the red.
The problem isn't their skin. The problem is their policies and corruption
I think running a candidate who actually offers real solutions to the problems people are facing is more important than fitting a particular demographic.
Each of the last three Dem noms were also centrist neolibs.
Yes but centrist neolib would be a massive improvement right now. You have idiotic fascist, the few smart ones sleep with Julius evola under their pillow. Somehow they also have "christians".
They can unite all kinds of weirdos and the left is divided over too many things.
The point is that they'll keep losing because you don't excite people by saying "we'll make sure things don't get much worse."
We tried a corrupt neoliberal, a feeble neoliberal, and a sleazy neoliberal. I suspect they all had something in common that was very offputting to the entire populace. If only we could figure out what that was and not repeat it.
We need to return the what produced the greatest electoral win and won us the largest majority in recent times: a black man with a Muslim name.
It's like people forget Obama even existed when running through this "must appease the bigots" formulation.
The US was less racist and divided in 2008.
Fuck off, racist.
