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!

lolololol, I finally get it, you have no idea what you're talking about, not just in regards to campaign staff or risk management, but about the actual damned movement! Your entire understanding of literally every point which you've brought up isn't based in reality but rather how you'd like things to be. If it wasn't so depressing it'd be impressive.
I feel dumber for having been in this conversation.
Your source is basically "I feel this way!" Like what, you think the word uncommitted actually secretly means committed Democrat voter regardless? Is this the "people are saying" style of fact gathering???
Do you literally not understand that the movement leaders are actively trying to negotiate with the Harris team now? Goodness gracious.
You're at the point where you're either purposefully or wildly ignorantly misunderstanding what the word listen means. They're not saying she needs to actively hear what they are saying, they mean it in the sense of "she needs to acquiesce to our demands." That's what listening to our demands/needs means in a political context. Just... Wow kid, wow.
lol, the publicly stated premise that, as far as you've been able to show, only exists in a speech that wasn't given? Neat publicly stated premise.
Good heavens, this is what I get for assuming people are worth engaging with. I mean, the misinformation you're spreading is useful but like, I don't want to be a party to lying to people.
You might look at an interview NPR did with one of the leaders where they have this interesting exchange:
In other words, if Kamala does not change course on Gaza, the uncommitted movement as a movement does not look like it will support her.
I'm pretty done with this.
That being said, it is flattering to see you borrowing my syntax, even though you've used at best/at worst less elegantly it has somewhat improved your style. So that's nice.
