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.

- 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.

Harris wasn't progressive enough for me so I'm okay with this.
Harris is a woman, so I’m okay with this.
edit:
Oh, and because she turned black.
I personally liked her better as an Indian.
Yeah, it must be a challenge to you to realize that someone can be bicultural.
I experimented with biculturalism but that was during my college days.
She represented the status quo every single person is so fucking sick of. To the point Donald Trump seemed like the better option to enough people. That's an abysmal fucking failure of, well, the status quo.
I don't think most people understood what the "status quo" was until Trump started destroying it.
Yes, "status quo" is billionaires, and monopolies, and low-level corruption, and so-on.
But, "status quo" is also civil liberties, a somewhat functional department of education, not having the national guard chasing down brown people in the street, a bureau of labour statistics that didn't invent numbers to please the dear leader, cabinet secretaries that weren't actively working to destroy the thing they were assigned to lead, low-level crony and nepo corruption and not over-the-top obvious bribery, and so-on.
I CANT believe you DIDNT vote Blue No Matter Who!
-People voting for INDEPENDENT CUOMO over Democrat MAMDANI!
Status Cuomo
Who are you even talking to? Do you know what website you're on?
sHe LoV3z tEh GenOsiDezddQ!!! Workers! comrade! Your country is weird!
I’m not putting my mark next to the name of someone who supports genocide, and Harris made it clear that her position was the same as Biden (“No daylight, kid”). It would be an act of tacit approval, and I would be complicit.
So, you settled for letting a madman be elected?
You do have blood on your hands.
So fucking stupid!
The Democratic Party did that, not little old me.
If YOU, didn't vote for Harris. It IS your fault.
There's zero defense of that fact.
No you did it.

I refused to let a wanna be dictator walk into office without my ballot in the box for anyone with a chance to beat him. I think doing otherwise would be an act of tacit approval, and I would be complicit in all the deportations and rolling back of the rights of all Americans.
Ever heard the term “pyrrhic victory”? Sure, you kept your hands clean, but you didn’t do yourself or the people of Gaza any favors.
I don’t consider it a “victory” of any kind
