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!

Co-founder of Netflix. Chief of the their board.
Net worth 4.7B
Cool, 0.15% of his net worth. That's like someone who makes $100k donating $150.
Ok...? You understand he's donating, not signing up to fund her, yeah?
I make 100k and haven’t donated $150. Am I a bad person?
I make $200k and only donated $100, so I'm technically worse.
How do you sleep at night?
I hear weed gummies help with that
You can always donate more
I've donated to Bernie and somehow that has put me on every Dem's begging list. I still get emails years later despite unsubscribing from fresh garbage every week. I will never give anyone another penny unless I am able to have some sort of guarantee they will fuck off after they get the money.
Did you donate anything?
Yes I did :)
Did you donate more than .15% of your net worth? Does that make you a better party memeber?
.15% of an average person's income is way different than .15% of a billionaire's income. An average person will feel the loss of ~$100 more than a billionaire will feel the loss of their equivalent. Billionaires should not exist.
That said, I donated $100 so very close to, yeah. I can donate an extra $50 if that gets you to vote blue.
No one's arguing that billionaires shouldn't exist but you're just bitching that someone didn't contribute more money.
Also, I am voting Democrat down ticket. You're assuming way too much about my politics based on a small exchange.
