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!

They're telling us who they are. This is their club and they're not taking kindly to any change that scares their clubs billionaire donors.
"They" aren't saying anything.
I encourage everyone to read the actual article. Axios inserted all this "fear a big loss" and other BS. They simply asked other house Democrats and they in general said she might lose and if they were her they'd be worried.
They didn't dismiss the challenger. They didn't endorse anyone. They didn't circle the wagons.
Everyone would be better off to see the bias the "journalist" here is putting in of their own accord. Theyre the one pushing you to pick a side and introducing conflict where there seemingly isn't any.
That’s true, and Axios is especially terrible with this—it’s a worthless biased rag IMO. But the party leadership’s silence and unwillingness to endorse the winning candidates when it’s obvious how popular they are, is quite loud in and of itself.
The people have been extremely clear about what they want, and what they want is not in the personal best interests of those in power. So it’s safer for leadership to stay quiet because they know that’s how they get more money (read: corruption) and the corporate interests will do the talking for them anyway, that’s one reason they were corrupted in the first place.
I don't think that's apparent at all unless you dismiss everywhere centrists are still winning.
How about everyone just chill, vote in primaries, and support whomever wins? A centrist is unlikely to win in Queens but a full blooded progressive is unlikely to win in west Virginia either. Nbd- work together where you can and drive us forward.
Why are the people trying to take power! They must be insurrectionists!
They're scared. Good.
We should use their own logic. They loose to democrats. That means they are not democrats. They’re imposters, self proclaimed imposters. Ought make their own centrist club and gtfo.
