I don’t know whether it’s appropriate to post this here, but it seems to me like it should be called out....

So, both lost by an overwhelming no. The problem is we voted no not because the ideas were bad (recognising single parent families, removing sexist language) but because the wording was bad. However, far right nuts who hold not a single seat in our ‘parliament’ are acting like we voted no because the Irish people all agree...

Tonight, Thursday, March 7th, is the State of the Union Address so lets keep everything related to it (including the Republican response) confined to this thread....

Anyone registered to vote can choose a Republican or Democratic ballot. Many of the people on the Democratic ballot (in my area) are running unopposed, so it was a good opportunity to try to get the least crazy people on the November ballot. Also, the republican ballot has 13 propositions that are not on the Democratic one, so...

3/5 was the biggest primary day of all, Super Tuesday!...

Tonight is the Michigan primary and unlike previous primaries where we were specifically paying attention to the REPUBLICAN side, this one has an interest on the DEMOCRATIC side as well!...

I couldn’t find any specific information. Lots of articles and people talking about him being in the closest or not. Nothing specific though, at least not that I could find. Just, he is unmarried and childless....

Let’s say we wanted to petition the government for a redress of our grievances. What would be on the list?...

Welcome to a WEIRD week in Politics!...

I’ve edited the title of this article. I still believe that the UK govt. is planning for war and that the talking up of war by the Guardian defense editor, Dan Sabbagh, is an indicator of this....

1st Primary of the season (Iowa was a Caucus, not a primary… different creature)....

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929–April 4, 1968) was the charismatic leader of the U.S. civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. He directed the year-long Montgomery bus boycott, which attracted scrutiny by a wary, divided nation, but his leadership and the resulting Supreme Court ruling against bus...

I’m putting this up early since it’s likely I won’t have time tomorrow....

Sorry to throw this on everyone in the group, but there has been another mod shakeup and it feels fair to address it publicly....

A recent post collected some comments by moderator Yobuckstopshere which were reported for being Covid misinformation. Further, comments calling out the misinformation were being removed....

I know he is on the other team, politically speaking, but listening to Republicans talk you would think he is the anti Christ. What has Biden done to make the Republicans hate him more than any other Democrat?

I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people....

As user @Salamendacious points out in their post:...

I am looking for a definition to Marxism, and they’re either "“Karl Marx was an evil man, who believed no one had value and didn’t hate minorities.” or don’t provide an in-depth description. What is a good place to get non-biased information about controversial topics?

So what if RFK Jr. continues to run? Well it’s possible he spoils Biden’s chance at being re-elected. I fully expect the downvote brigade to visit this post and bury it, but at least consider what I am saying....

The LW admins have requested that communities remove any posts that include the entire article....

Is this a joke? Why would this be posted and locked. Why would this even be considered? Reddit doesn’t even do something so absurd. Why would we accept factual information to be locked behind paywalls while conspiracies and nonsense is freely available? Are we going to start posting infowars articles or some other nonsense...
