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!

Nope. Hate to say it, but the Democrats need to launch a white guy to the top of the ticket. Someone that the disaffected MAGA voters will be able to opt for, because even if they're getting sodomized by the Republican/Trumpist politics, they'd still choose bend over and spread their asscheeks rather than vote for a black woman.

Just no.

Knock it off with the liberal apologia. Harris lost because of her shit policies, not her gender or race.

Yeah.. okay. Hate to bring it home, but her color WAS the deciding issue for tons of the right leaning registered Independent mouthbreathers I know and was working with at the time.

So, let's not play that Gaza or her support for Israel meant a damn thing to the morons that saw nothing more than a female version of Barack Obama on the ballot.

It's not just Democrats and Republicans that vote.

Kamala is an awful choice, but your reasoning is not supported by evidence.

I propose having Mike Pence win the Democratic primary. He has all the demographic stuff covered, and the story is perfect: Once aligned with the GOP, he broke away and now sides with the Democrats to seize the Presidency from Trump. The Blue No Matter Who people will sail Pence through the primary and the general. It's the perfect plan!

This is deeply jaded, but it'd probably work.
