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!

How's that incrementalism working out for you? By all measures it's helped shift your party to the right.
Solidarity could help shift it left. But accelerationist have no desire or idea how to make things better. Always easier to destroy than build.
Accelerationism aims at putting fascists into power; thus it is a species of fascism.
Trump/Putin stating openly he'd end the republic seemed insane at first, but maybe he/they saw some polls that showed how many people were disaffected with the current system and decided to roll the dice on it. Its somehow resonating, which is a real eye opener. Our entire system of government ending is neck and neck in an election and the DNC wont lift a finger toward creating unity, because it would risk some bribes being withdrawn. They clearly dont see the danger at all.
Liberals also called civil rights accelerationism, labor rights accelerationism, any actual progress that has to fight government to progress is considered accelerationism.
Then after those rights have been won, liberals jumped on the bandwagon as if they always supported them. Liberals, like MLK said, are the largest stumbling blocks to progress
People refuse to come to terms that incrementalism is also a form of violence against the poor and working class. It only works if you have resources or peace in your area of living.
The only thing they know is violence. Poverty is violence, lack of health care is violence, stagnant wages is violence, homelessness is violence. Democrats, along with their Republican counterparts, engage in social murder daily.
