        Keep an eye out on who he endorses. And whether Chicago progressives can field an alternative.

    Whenever there’s a time where the dems have a chance to fight for regular people there is ALWAYS enough traitors to make them cave

    This has been happening all my life, and every time it is different dems caving. Like they take fucking turns

    This ends when we stop allowing DNC supported candidates to hold power.

    So now we get bombarded with articles telling us who to point the finger at, and they are all conveniently either retiring or their seat isn’t up for grabs.

    Hmmmmmm

      I could have sworn he officially switched sides of went independent but I guess that’s a fever dream I had exemplifying his cowardly traitorousness.

      In reality he professes to be doing the right thing, and can’t figure out why his constituents hate him and why the party is trying to push him out. I hope he’s lying, because if he’s really that dumb I worry for Pennsylvania.

      Dems defended him at the start, but he’s failed them pretty bad.

    So, does anyone suspect that these traitors were bribed or blackmailed?

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!
