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!

Look up the search trend for "Did Joe Biden drop out" around the election if you want to lose any remaining faith in humanity
Yeah, that speaks to how bad harris' campaign was. A significant portion didn't even know she was running.
You can't defeat willful ignorance with more ad spending
^ THIS
Holy Christ, do any of you think she did anything wrong at all?
Yes, she did plenty wrong... but you cannot evaluate that without the context and alternative
If you have cancer and they tell you chemo is your only shot at living even thought it will be painful... you cannot set yourself on fire and pretend it was chemo's fault for not being a better choice
Not everything that inflicts pain is a cancer cure. But damn, people who like inflicting pain sure like to pretend it is.
Ok, so how is tRump a better alternative?... please justify your answer.
Also notice I did not portrait chemo as a cure... only a painful living extension.
YOU (I am assuming you are American) have been sleeping at the wheel of your democracy for 30 years or so, if you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, with no easy solutions out of the mess, you only have yourselves to blame (and here I am saying "YOU" as in "The American People", all the boilerplate exceptions apply)
He isn't. The election is over and harris lost. Why are you still carrying water for her? Why are you still trying to convince people who voted for her to vote for her?
LOL me? I couldn't care less about Harris... notice how it was YOU who started this thread still beating the Harris dead horse
... every accusation is a confession with you people. The projection is unavoidable
"I couldn't care less, but let me keep doing this for brownie points for people who don't know I exist."
They do not. Harris was perfect in every way, anything otherwise is a lie.
