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!

Too many will celebrate because he has a D by his name, completely ignorant of the fact that high profile Dems not being held accountable for blatantly breaking laws hurts Dem turnout nationwide.
Adams walking will hurt Dems in the midterms, and give trumpets someone to point to and say his corruption makes trump's ok.
The party has to meet the standards of its voters, and Dem voters will always have a higher standard than Republican voters.
That's just life.
Bullshit. Everyone who voted for Adams in NYC knows this is fucked. Unlike Republicans, Democrats would be thrilled to get this asshat out of office because we don't think corruption makes our team stronger. No one is celebrating this because he was a Democrat, there's nothing a liberal would cheer about this shit show.
Dem voters in NYC?
Sure, they tend to always hate mayors in NYC because neoliberal primary donations ensure the Dem voters don't have a good option in the general and Republicans have a chance
But name an elected Dem in a leadership position who has called for Adams' resignation, I can wait.
A 10-second Google search.

What about a house rep who's been in office 3 years makes you think of him as "an elected Dem in a leadership position"?
I did see this tho:

That's not even getting into him literally being a Republican hiding behind a D:
The only reason he has a D is he couldn't win with a R...
But that's off topic:
