Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

When Harris was selected, the first thing that crossed my mind was "we're running a woman against him again?" I was definitely hopeful after the enthusiasm surge, but I'm wondering how much her being a woman and a minority hurt her chances.

she fucked it up too. her interviews were awful. she kept going right. she undermined protesters. kept talking about having Republicans in the cabinet and being endorsed by Republicans and shit. dropped the "weird" narrative, which was effective, in favor of trying to compete with the orange cunt on xenophobia. not a great bargain. did a lot to kill the enthusiasm from the left just to appeal to the five remaining non-q conservatives.

the main reason people wanted Biden to drop out was because he was going to depress turnout. then she did exactly that.

America is racist and sexist so this was going to be an uphill battle but she could've not pushed her actual enthusiastic base to the side.

If that's truly the case, we deserve to burn.
