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!

Americans are going to vote for Trump again anyways no matter who is the Democratic nominee. They'll fall for whatever particular issue that makes them think they'd rather have Trump than the Democratic nominee. Just like in 2024. Terminally stupid country in the last days of its empire.

If she ends up winning the primary, he's gonna get a third term. Then we'll get obama again.

This is a not unheard of scenario regardless of who comes out of the DNC. Voter suppression efforts are pretty far wide spread rn. Hard to predict the landscape in 2028, but it doesn't look great right now

Everyone loves a redemption arc.

There's a lot of people who don't know what a binary choice is.

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.
