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!

Cool, but that's like playing on "Easy" mode. Run somebody in Missouri! Iowa. Idaho ffs. Progressives are winning in deep-blue states? Well, that's good, but in this fascist environment I'd expect voters would even go with Clinton-level Dems to win there. That they had more progressive options to choose is excellent, but don't mistake that for a nationwide movement. Because It's not showing up in the red states (yet).
The DNC needs to jettison the consultants who want to buy TV ads. They need a core social media organization and an understanding of why to have that. They don't. Therefore, they're flying blind. These wins help nudge them in the right direction but until they can get some new leadership they're going to continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory unless people get out and vote for them in the unexpected areas.
Michigan is certainly not a deep blue state
Fine, it's purple.
Point still stands.
Honestly winning in red states are much harder than winning in deep blue states. We can win in most of the swing states
