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!

Highly qualified centrist women… This "iT wAs SeXiSm" take is trite and frankly fucking boring at this point. Maybe we should run an actual leftist brown woman to isolate the variables?
Hell Warren would have done better than Harris. Harris was just a trash candidate who came in like 10th in the 2020 primaries behind other women and people of color.
If you remember the 2020 primary, the "can a woman really win" questions really ramped when Warren was briefly leading, not when Harris looked like she was the hot up and comer. There's nothing legitimate behind these concern trolling campaigns, just establishment centrists showing how similar to Republicans they really are.
I'm sorry the reality of the country you live in hasn't set in yet.
Hey, it worked the last time we tried running an actual leftist who was a WHITE MALE who every leftist adored. Oh wait, he lost the primary popular vote both times and never had a real shot at the presidency. Oops.
Sanders got ratfucked in the primary and still managed to crush Hillary in much of the Rust Belt, the exact places where she lost to Trump in the general. Fuck your revisionist nonsense.
