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!

A former CEO with a history of fraud investigations and votes with Matt Gaetz...
He's not progressive, he just pulled a Sinema to get elected.
And this is just a PR grab, he'd already been talking about starting a far right Hindu caucus in the US a few weeks ago. It just didn't get any press, so now he's trying to make it sound like this is why he's doing it.
She denounced the problematic people that showed up with nazi flags....

That makes sense, and I don't know anyone that would disagree with that.
This chucklefuck seems to think a handful of bigots means the DSA supports nazis. Which is fucking stupid for a lot of reasons that shouldn't need explaining.
It's right there...
And something her and other progressives have been saying for like a decade now.
It seems like you want to make it sound like AOC is condemning anyone that's not sucking off Netenyahu
I don't think I'm going to be able to help you. And I definitely don't want to spend my morning trying to find out.
Try someone else.
You know you’re in for a bad day when givesomefucks doesn’t give a fuck!
What weird bedfellows we have now
Well what is the point you're trying to make then? Just out with it and quit being a douche.
How do you know what he's thinking?
No idea why you are getting down voted for asking a question especially as it brings up something important around the DSA and it's highest profile members. I will look for the article but saw that the national DSA org came out saying the event was not planned (or supported? trying to remember how strong the language was) by the national org but rather the NY chapter. It will be interesting to see the fallout and whether that changes the power balance within org leadership
It will be an interesting litmus test for the DSA. If they want to achieve national relevance, they'll need to pretty much agree with AOC and investigate what happened with the NY chapter.
All they need to say is that they condemn the Hamas attack just like they condemn Israel's indiscriminate bombing of Palestine, and they plan to investigate their NY chapter to understand what happened.
Unfortunately leftists hate having their thought processes challenged almost as much as MAGAs.
