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!

"You people"?
Who are you talking about? Harris destroyed her own campaign by squandering all the momentum gained from dropping Biden off the ticket.
She was never a viable candidate because she chose to fight right-wing populism with mealy-mouthed bipartisanship.
I genuinely do not understand what your point is. It sounds like you've got your understanding of electoral politics backwards, the onus is on political parties to earn our votes and parties that can't convince people to vote for them lose elections. Individual choice doesn't matter, what matters is who has the best propaganda.
Yes you people. Fuck off with the faux outrage.
She's a politician that did a stupid politician thing. It's so fucking stupid to give a single shit about it. She tried to appeal to "old school" conservatives who she thought may have been lucid enough to see the danger Trump posed to us all.
Clearly it failed. But it's a really fucking stupid reason to not vote for her. Just completely ignorant of the political reality we were in.
I'm not outraged, I'm confused. Who is "you people" supposed to be referring to?
And yet, here you are getting mad because people didn't give enough of a shit about it.
Says the guy trying to blame the voters in a country that science says is not and has never been a democracy.
