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 recommend watching the full speech, AOC did very well. Just a warning though, HRC follows her. Big tent and all that...
The version on her Youtube channel is mixed well and has baked-in subtitles
E: I thought Sec. Clinton's Speech was quite good also. Even if you don't like listening to her voice, the moment where she relishes in the crowd's "Lock Him Up!" is one she has long deserved and worth watching.
Omg HRC isn't the fucking devil, get over it. She had one of the best speeches of the night
HRC and the DNC of the time gave us president trump.
I don't think she's the devil. I didn't watch all of them, but Shawn Fain and AOC did the best speeches I've ever heard from their careers. Hillary's reminded me partially of why I didn't like her. To each their own, I just dislike platitudes too much to support her. Her inference about progress also rang hollow to me, seeing how she was always almost the last in line from her party to support civil rights, famously gay rights. Big tent in this instance is a good thing, but I wouldn't show up to watch her give a speech if the heavy hitters weren't there.
