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!

slight change in aesthetics? this take is more surface level than actually voting for the color of a candidate's skin.
if democracy is on the line, you better act like it. putting a corpse up as your candidate ain't it.
You don't vote for the candidate, you vote for the cause. The people excited to vote for Kamala Harris now were perfectly fine to let democracy die a few weeks ago, and thus far I've seen no substantive difference in her policies as compared to Biden, it's basically a continuation of the status quo. She has a better "argument" to make for abortion rights because she's a woman vs Biden being an old white guy, but he's still done more for workers than Harris can claim to have done. Maybe she'll scold Israel a bit more than Biden did, but she seems more in line with Hilary Clinton than anything. I'm ready to vote against the fascists no matter who the Democrats put up, corpse or not. Even if he had died in office, the presidency still would've gone to Harris anyways, so it shouldn't have mattered his age.
When everyone is saying democracy is at stake, why would I vote for a near-corpse who doesn't care about the result as long as he "tries his best"?
Pressuring Biden out of the race and replacing him with someone who will actually fight shows that Democrats are finally serious about this election and the threat Trump poses.
