Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

MODERATORS
People were really fired up for the generic democrat against Trump. People were not fired up for the geriatric democrat that actually was running.
Harris was a geriatric?
Many people drew a direct line between Biden's weaknesses and the Harris campaign, and Harris didn't really try that hard to differentiate the two. She might have if there was an actual primary, but we'll never know.
"People including myself saw what we wanted to see despite efforts to appeal to us"
FTFY
What efforts? "Not Trump" was factually "Not enough". Wish it was, but unless you deny the electoral results, Harris need something other than "Not Trump" to win.
Controversial I know, but I think saying "hey we're not going to recklessly break the country and sell off the peices to our rich friends" does make you better than the person who will just break stuff.
Either way the protest votes still had 0 effect on the results of the election.
She was missing the most important thing to defeat Trump... a penis.
Well Bernie would have probably stolen the show and you can't have that...
He ran twice and lost twice. Average democrats are too indoctrinated and don't want radical things like education or healthcare, let alone Republicans from the church of fox.
The DNC admitted that they threw it to Hillary the first time. And the second time they had to beg Biden out of retirement to find an alternative to Bernie. It's infuriating, Bernie has never been given a real chance.
They favored Clinton, but they didn't falsify votes or anything like that, democrats still voted for her (and Biden) in masses.
I think you missed a few months towards the end there...
Na, people had hope Harris would be different. Then she quashed it.
You, and everyone like you, let perfect be the enemy of good and progress.
You, and the ones like you, are fools.
I, and people like me, want to be able to vote on our party's nominee instead of it being decided for us. If people like you think wanting democracy is the enemy of good and progress, then Trump and his kingship worldview has already won.
Hmm... it's almost like you can't just one issue a problem away. It's almost like being a one issue idiot is the cause of what we are seeing right now.. Hmmm...
It's almost like progress takes time, while dismantling shit takes a week... HMMM....
It's almost like we, unfortunately, have to work for progress brick by brick.... HMMMMMMMMM....
It's almost like you and everyone like you being complacent about the takeover of the USA is why we are where we are now...... HMMMMMMMMMMM.....
It's almost like you and those like you will now never get what you say you want....
Who would've thought, right?
Put your best jester outfit on, because the new king of the USA has fools like you to thank for his reign. I'm sure he would clap for you to do more of your silly little dances. You know.. "for democracy".
I will never stop fighting for democracy. I was out knocking doors and calling people for Harris, as "imperfect" as she was, all while you got drunk vodka in your Russian troll farm celebrating the fall of American democracy.
You are right about one thing. Time will tell, and you and your authoritarian ilk will eventually be defeated.
Good day, 🇷🇺 troll. I am blocking you now.
Go do that, little buddy!
The adults will take over from here, and once again, clean up the mess of fools like you.
Have a good day! :)
