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!

The Lincoln Project went fast and hard on Trump LP ad
I haven't agreed with everything the Lincoln Project stands for and the presentation of some ads, but Harris is an excellent pick for both centrists and progressives and LP does well here to highlight it.
Cops are bastards but the former AG would be a much better alternative than actual convicted criminals running the country. And she ran in a state that had much better ideas on what criminal justice means than other states.
For the moderates: How can someone whose entire enterprise is the crime, be tough on crime? How can anyone who has uttered the words "rule of law" in the past 4 years want someone who has spent much of their life dodging the law over someone who had a career in enforcing it?
You misunderstand. Republicans won't come out and condemn her as "too tough on crime" directly; they'll fund attack ads and troll farms that will present her as "not progressive enough" as a way to depress progressive voter turnout.
It's not about trying to sway centrists, because even Republicans can recognize that that would look hypocritical and contradictory. It's about encouraging infighting among leftists and liberals
Finally conservatives doing something sensible and contributory
