    Another slaver is the last thing we need.

      Do you mean because he’s white?

          “Two-thirds of state and federal prisoners nationwide are required to work, the report said, most without adequate protections against labor exploitation.”

          I think this says more about the prison industrial complex than it does any individual state leader.

            It does, but if a state leader is still going to support the slave and prison industry… I’m not sure why anyone but confederate kannies would excuse it.

    I think MN governor Walz would be the most qualified to run for president against Biden. I’m glad that he wants to stay in MN though

      Washington’s Governor Inslee has been mostly very good as well. He’s not running for reelection as governor in 2024, but I’m not sure if that means he is retiring. He is yet another old white guy, however.

        Inslee has been terrible for Washington overall. He is also a standard corporate Democrat of the worst variety. He fancies himself a progressive by working on his poorly thought out pet social policies, and doesn’t have the backbone for the national stage. The last thing we need is some wet blanket corporatist who lacks the courage of his convictions. Just my two cents as a life long Washingtonian.

      As much as the national DNC needs better candidates, I’m not willing to share him

    Because of Biden’s age, there’s going to be some level of engines being revved on the chance he kicks the bucket.

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!
