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!

Disclaimer: I'm on the Momala bandwagon now.
Part of the problem here is that the job of the VP is kind of meh. Sit around as an understudy in case the main act has a colonoscopy or something, and go down to the Senate every now and then to break up fights. It's not supposed to be a popular job. So of course people don't like her. She's had to stay in the background, particularly when people have doubts about the President's ability, and if she was more visible people might think it's because the President needs his nap.
I don't believe all these bad numbers will stick, because they're all hypothetical. If Harris ultimately gets the nod, she will gain in the polls once it no longer becomes hypothetical. (For that matter, so would any other candidate listed. I like Harris, but I like the others listed, too. They can all at least stay up past Jeopardy.)
Her issue is several of her speeches have been terrible and she is obsessed with “woke ideology”. I don’t really like RFK but he says a few things that are absolutely true. The Democratic Party is OBSESSED with culture wars. Look at what they’ve accomplished in 3.5 years. Almost all of it has to do with LGBTQ rights or extremely liberal policy like cancelling student loans. I don’t disagree that these are great issues to tackle but for fucks sake can we worry about normal shit for normal people. It looks like they’re trying to win votes by gaining favor with marginalized groups of society. They’re literally acting like republicans which is why so many can’t stand Biden/Kamala. They are the same, just on different ideological wavelengths.
Hey, you should refine your AI prompts, they are starting to generate contradictions
