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'm not allowed to post things from the candidate's own blog. I'm not allowed to post articles from 2019, but what about this?
Her reversal is not ok and we should be allowed to discuss it.
I want it, but I’m willing to wait a while longer in exchange for freedom now. Bigger problems to work on with Project 2025. I got a preteen niece that cannot grow up in that kind of world. And couchfucker needs to go away.
OP posted a similar article a few minutes ago, and I will say again they're like MAGA and are using anything and everything to kill the momentum.
Momentum sustained over here. Would love MFA but there no point in talking about it without the right Congress.
Exactly.
I am not a MAGA person and I am only one person. If the candidate were consistent then she wouldn't have this problem.
Are you completely unaware of how political campaigns work?
I'm more interested in how they should work.
You should be interested in both how it should work, and how it DOES work, because you'll never win if you don't learn how to play the game.
I'm going to try to be nice here and say I don't think throwing 'MAGA' around is helpful unless it's clear you deserve it, but I don't know how theprogressivist has interacted with you in the past, so I can't speak for them, just for me. If your goal is to hold the Dems' feet to the fire, I'm here for that. I think you need to be realistic and accept the fact that you can't win America on a straight Liberal platform with all the fear-mongering Team Red has put on that word.
Right now, I have but one thing on my mind -- Trump must not win in November. Once we deal with him, we can start pushing our own side, for sure, but we need to come together during election season and kick the Alt-Right to the curb. Project 2025 waits if we falter.
The headline saying progressives are ok with it is bullshit.
But if stupid headlines broke any rules, there'd be a lot less posts here.
This one will likely stay up
That's the headline from the article and I'm not allowed to change it. I ended up having to copy paste it as the automatic import did not work, so I suppose the title tag could be different. I can't quite tell on my phone.
Nah. I meant it's not your fault it's a dumb headline, it's the journalist/editor who picked it.
I should have explicitly said that to be clear tho considering how much hassle you've went thru to get a post in
Says the person who amplified an equally shitty and misleading headline from Axios literally less than 24 hours ago. Anything to fit your preconceived notions though, right?
My preconceived notion is that people should fight for the things they believe in and not just shift their beliefs because the money said so. Strange, I know.
My preconceived notion is that people shouldn't amplify misleading headlines. That goes doubly for people who criticize misleading headlines when the shoe is on the other foot.
It's not misleading if I provide a date in the body, one is provided in the article/blog and the candidate totally said all of that. I'm not allowed to change the title, so how am I otherwise supposed to compensate for a lack of reading comprehension?
I wasn't responding to you, so not sure why you feel like I'm criticizing your submission.
Sorry, wrong thread. Be well
