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!

Don't run another woman please. Have they really not learned their lesson? I hate that it's true, but the US is a misogynistic population.
Hillary won the popular vote in 2016.
Did it matter?
"women can't win elections"
"a woman technically won the election in 2016"
"did it matter?"
The problem is not the vulva, the problem is running fuckers who dont CHANGE ANYTHING. Dems uphold the status quo, and Americans VERY CLEARLY do not want that. They want radical change, doesnt matter if it's left or right leaning.
Hillary and Kamala's public perception were in large part "The predecessor v2" and not "Big change for the US". Hillary is the wife of a dem president of the 90s. Kamala was literally Joe's VP, and Joe was Obamas VP. Joe only won due to the aftermath of COVID-19 and Americans having short term memory loss forgot that Trump was in office for COVID, and voted him back in because he was promising change.
The problem is the marketing and the fact dems aren't fucking doing enough. Run AOC.
Oh I completely agree. Kamala was always Hillary 2.0. But still, the risk, even is it's a few percent, is not worth it.
