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 guarantee you Stevens will be better than the incumbent, even if we wish for better still. Even liberal Democrats increase the sway of progressives compared to Republicans.
Still, I'm voting for Abdul in the primary.
Don't worry mate. She's gonna lose. I'd guess Abdul gets 55-60% of the vote in the primary. It's not even gonna be close.
Save your "lesser evil" stuff for now mate. We don't even need to have that conversation yet. And, honestly, if people are saying shit like "I won't vote for stevens" that's literally just more reason for people to vote for Abdul. Let that shit slide until it matters. The voters are pissed at these Dems. Let them be pissed. Ride the momentum. No need to reflexively pre defend a Zionist dem over a Zionist Republican. We won't have to make that choice.
I know we are so use to having to do that. But, it's a primary, this is literally the stage were we are making sure the candidate isn't just a "lesser evil".
The only thing better than seeing Progressives win, is seeing the panicking Corpo-Establishment Dems heavily support someone else, and then LOSE!
How much more evidence do they need before they understand that they are hated almost as much as MAGAs? We took back the government in 2020, and the Dems did absolutely NOTHING to keep MAGA from STEALING it back. NOTHING - even though they openly talked and bragged about stealing it. The MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries just instantly declared the election "fair & square," and then disparaged anyone who dared to contradict them.
The arrogant Corpo-Establishment Dems are as much a part of the problem as MAGA. They both need to be crushed and purged.
Agreed! It's MUCH better To vote REPUBLICAN then to let the REPUBLICAN win!
If one of them is less bad, fuck yes.
There isn't an incumbent in this race. The seat is held by a Democrat that is retiring.
Sorry, my mistake. I know they are running against Mike Rogers and I just assumed he was running as incumbent, but it looks like he's been fucking off for the last decade and failed his comeback against Slotkin last election.
I'll never vote for a Zionist again so that already disqualifies her. Also, I refuse to vote for liberals that have their mouths around the cocks of the elite class. Nope, I'd rather we descend into full fascism and this country tears itself apart.
That's your right, but I hope you understand why that's completely irrational and nihilistic. That scenario involves likely civil war and thousands, tens of thousands, or millions of innocent deaths, at a level none of us can fully imagine.
I'm writing this now because I've seen way too many of these litmus purity test debates in 2024. If you care about people, vote in the way that helps them the most, even if imperfect. It should be that simple.
Being nihilistic is looking past the thousands of dead children the Zionists have happily murdered. Rape, murder, and genocide are impossible to look past for me. Some crazy cunt talking about how Israel comes to her in her dreams is what the liberals are offering. I'm not willing to pay. If that means we have to kill each other, so be it. I'll happily die for my ideals, and I'll take at least one with me. The Democrats must learn their class traitor, pro-genocide candidates are not viable in modern America.
Pull yourself together. Geez
Speak for yourself.

No I'm on the same page here. I may have misread your level of irony?
e: I was reacting to
"rather we descend into full fascism"Fair enough. I said that to emphasize I'm over that "lesser of two evils" argument. Evil is evil and I'll not vote for either. Shit needs to change and in a big way.
Glad terminally online leftists are finally saying the quiet part out loud: you're discouraging Democratic votes because you support facism.
And you support genocide, so why should anyone listen to you? Fake leftists, I'll get to watch y'all snatch defeat from the jaws of victory yet again, that's the liberal MO after all. You're giving the country to fascists, not me. It's wild how y'all are alright supporting the rape and murder of children, because voting for Stevens is exactly that, a vote for genocide, pathetic.
