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!

I imagine that they dont care about that because they dont calculate it like you do. They will move Harris to be better or they'll burn it all down with fire using Trump. Thats them voting in their own long term self interests, at the cost of a very small short term comfort of life under Harris vs Trump, and its completely rational. You are offered a cushy existence under Harris and they are clearly not, and yet you lecture like they are. Why should they care about your comfort when you shrug as they are murdered or at best treated with open contempt? Dem strategists should have been paying attention to their persona pattern long before now and they just shrugged and ignored it, so here we are with a group thats been maligned and more or less pushed out of the party, and we need their votes to win a wing state.
Sucking up to independents, who arent reliable and are basically republicans, disaffected republicans, and gun nuts is a hail mary that has never worked and no one knows if it will work this time. This is the usual DNC bedshitting and incompetence.
Locking a decisive voting block in a swing state out of the Democratic party convention was a massive, massive mistake, and all Harris has been doing is doubling down on it.
Hillary didnt visit Iowa, and Harris blew off Michigan.
