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!

Walz is also the rare kind of progressive that gets others to join him being progressive. he might not be the most progressive, but he's effective.
If Karl Marx or John Lennon don’t join the ticket then I’m not voting for pseudo-progressive Harris.
As far as hot takes, I've seen warmer ice cubes.
What?
You don’t think my thoughts are reasonable?
People are allowed to think differently, you know.
No, I don't think the particular thought you had was reasonable. Which is why I made the comment I did.
People are allowed to think differently, y'know?
Are you against Marxism-Lennonism?
Well, I have never heard about the beatles singers version of communism. And looking through his wiki it doesn't mention any political writings of that nature.
Can't be against a philosophy that doesn't exist. But if it did, it would get corrupted very shortly after being implemented.
So you aren't against it, but you don't think it would work?
A non-existent theory can't work.
What we have now, does it work?
Don't switch the topic.
But we're talking about things that don't work, I'd say it's perfectly on topic.
Unless it's something you're unwilling to talk about.
No, you were talking about a political ticket that can't exist and political theory that doesn't.
You know you can reread your previous comments?
Are you gaslighting me now to try to change the topic?
Go reread your comment.
If you're unable to talk about our subject of discussion, which is what we have now working or not then I think this conversation is over.
I really enjoy talking to a whole range of different people but when they shit on my beliefs and don't have conversations in good faith it really makes it hard.
For the record this is what I am talking about.
From where I stand there can't be any good faith argument with a statement like that as both those people have been dead for decades.
I didn't write that second sentence in the quote, are you trying to put words in my mouth?
First there is only one sentence there and second you didn't even take the time to edit your shit to hide it.
I’m talking about your comment before you edited it.
Oh, you mean corrected for spelling and grammar?
If that's how you want to play it, it's all good with me.
Just proves what I'm saying about bad faith discussions.
Goodbye. You obviously aren't what you say you are.
I'm really curious what you think I say I am.
Boy, folks sure missed this one
