    Even if we somehow get a Dem speaker…

    It’s going to be Jefferies who is almost as pro-Israel as Biden

    https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/2023-08-07/ty-article/.premium/top-house-democrat-to-lead-aipac-sponsored-trip-to-israel-in-bid-to-repair-relations/00000189-cf63-d9f3-a1cd-fffbdfe90000

    There’s only one other politician taking more AIPAC money than him

    https://truthout.org/articles/fec-filing-shows-aipac-made-record-donations-to-congress-in-november/

    Even if we “win”, we still ain’t winning. It’s the illusion of choice.

    Until we fix at least one of the political parties or get a viable 3rd, we won’t get dirty money out of politics, because the people who take it keep getting these leadership positions.

      Easy to complain. Which district are you running in?

        Are you not aware of how much dirty money is in primaries?

        Or how the Dem party has spent the last decade or so saying primary elections don’t matter and if they want they can just ignore results?

        Like, you might as well have asked why I don’t get in my job cannon and fly off to job land where jobs grow on jobbies…

          So you’re not running then? Amidst the rampant, unchecked political corruption you claim to observe in every direction, the solution you in your wisdom have found most powerful is to complain about it on the internet.

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!
