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!

I don't care if she runs again, I want the people to vote in the primaries and elect a better nominee.

I want her to run... Far far away from here.

Just stop already.

They needed someone out there on day 1 after the election to be the face and the presence of the DNC as a clear personality for the next run. Instead it’s likely you will get someone in the last five minutes.

She knows she wouldn't win. Just wants to fundraise, lose and sell another book.

She can run if she wants, but I can think of at least 5 better choices: Kelly, Warren, Buttigieg, AOC, Walz, and a bunch more.

Kelly and Warren are my top choices. AOC should do a turn in the Senate first.

I think so little of American voters that I just assume the democrats could pick any white man and win. For whatever reason, a large portion (i.e., the uneducated) of the American public is too sexist to vote for a female democratic president. The minute the republicans put one forward as a serious candidate, suddenly then it will be great.

I do. She wasn’t just the only candidate who was not an evil egocentric conman, but would have continued policies for the long term improvement in the country.

My biggest complaint against Biden policies was this country is too schizophrenic for policies that build over a long term. Another 4 years might have gotten the ball rolling enough so they couldn’t be turned back. Meanwhile back in the real world, most were canceled after spending huge amounts of money but before we could see any benefit
