Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Oh look, it’s Henry Cuellar. The indicted DINO who barely beat a progressive last primary after Nancy Pelosi endorsed him.

Zionists and fascists work together because zionism is just another form of fascism. Especially christian fascists who are the vast majority of zionists in USA.

These people would rather support Trump than oppose genocide.

I looked up Illinois’ Brad Schneider as I live in the Chicago area. Sure enough, guy is Jewish and involved with AIPAC.

I’m very seriously thinking of writing him to give a piece of my mind. I don’t care if he’s Jewish or not - if this is literally about suppressing someone’s right to protest (Palestine vs Israel), then he does not represent me or many others.

It ain't called the new Jerusalem for nothing.

Hey, if you're a progressive in any of these districts, try and unseat these assholes.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

Been trying to get rid of Case for years now, but politics here is an insider club and he hasn't had any real challengers since getting elected with a plurality in a 7 person primary where a former-Republican ran to his left. He's been a horrible embarrassment ever since. One of the worst representatives in the entire party when you look at his district lean compared to his voting history.

Remember when DWS threatened Obama because he wanted to replace her as DNC chair? I remember.

[–] Talaraine@fedia.io 9 points 10 hours ago

And to think I was trying to get Allred to unseat Cruz.

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago

Are these the "enemies within" that Trump kept talking about?

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

Seeing Washington on the list makes me feel betrayed.

Actually, that would be giving Biden insane new powers, would it not? He's still President if I'm not mistaken

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

What the fuck do you think happens to the powers on January 20th?

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

If the Senate passes the bill, and if Biden signs (some big ifs) then Trump would have those powers. But, if those "ifs" don't happen the bill is dead and the next Congress will have to vote again.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Ok, cool story. What is your point? They voted for a bill, whether other people stop it is irrelevant to their personal responsibility for voting to give Trump a tool of oppression.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 0 points 57 minutes ago (1 children)

Members of Congress trade their votes all the time. Hardly something that's new.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 0 points 54 minutes ago (1 children)

This is a very dumb read based on literally no evidence for the actions of this list of reliable quislings.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 0 points 46 minutes ago* (last edited 33 minutes ago)

Whatever. Just stating facts. If they're not liked it means little difference to me.
