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.

Harris' political options are closed.
Harris managed to convince the DNC to forgo a primary and annoint them and then they lost the fucking election.
End.
Lost all THREE branches of government. A colossal failure of a campaign.
-Former VPs
-From California
-Lost an election < You are here
-Ran for California Governor
-Ran for the presidency again
Reagan? Reagan 2.0?
The way Democrats are tacking to the right it's not far off
God, I hope not.
More like a Nixon 2.0
At least Nixon did a few decent things, something that is absolutely impossible to say about Ronald Reagan. Although.. he did get seriously demented in his second term, maybe I’m a bit too negative.
If we look at Kamala Harris's political path, she has more similarities with Nixon than with Reagan. But we will have to wait and see if she runs for governor of California and then if she wins or loses.
It worked for Tricky Dick.
Tbf, when Biden dropped out, there really wasn't a lot of time to organize 50 primaries according to each state's election rules and then get the result onto the general ballot in time for those deadlines.
tbf, Biden shouldn't have run for re-election in the first place.
There absolutely was - primaries have relatively lax laws and aren't legally binding, so even an improvised approach wouldn't have been illegal.
If only there was a method to instantly reach every American without being directly in front of them. /S
"Under existing laws...."
I'm with you.
I think it should be a holiday and anyone present in the jurisdiction can vote. You pick your candidate, legal, illegal, young, old, felon, not, and then you dip your finger in a jar of semi permanent ink so you can't vote twice. I mean, if we're making wishes.
Fuck yeah cut a finger off every time you vote! It's the only way!
You realize people vote like that all over the world? The ink lasts for a few days. Clearly that's the same as cutting off your finger. I can't believe someone trained a donkey to use the internet. This is crazy.
My fine barn yard swine friend, I had only the wish to make voting a more serious event, not to be taken lightly. You'd get 40 years of voting what is your complaint?
You got any sources for that? When Biden stepped down initially they were looking for who would replace him. His vice president / running mate was an obvious choice. I don't think I ever read anything about her trying to convince them. More then trying to convince her.
General observations of the universe. There were discussions about having a snap primary and then suddenly Harris was the nominee.
I can't say for certain if she pursued that end herself but even if she wasn't the primary architect she consented to forgo a primary.
Edit: We're all observers to what happened - the outcome was predictable given how the DNC has operated... how is this surprising?
So you don't have any actual evidence of your claims. Just biased perceptions.
And no none of this is surprising. What would have been surprising is if anyone individually or collectively took any responsibility for this outcome. Spreading distortions and misinformation. Helping a fascist win.
I have no real love for liberals. But all the so called lefties that felt comfortable not showing solidarity against actual fascism. Because things weren't perfect. Get far less. Don't get me wrong, as someone with a strong anarchist Dejacque Libertarian lean. I'm not here to force anyone to vote even. Or vote for anyone specifically. But I have no qualms about pointing out people disingenuously heaping undeserved criticism on liberals. While failing to acknowledge and learn the lessons of their own mistakes.
I do have evidence - I saw it happen in real time like most of us did. Demanding sources for common knowledge reeks of JAQing off.
Post them. Your reluctance to along with the accusations reeks of projection and desperation. Which is really sad as I'm not trying to defend liberals. They fucked up just like you did. And are refusing to learn the lesson just as you are. And you both will repeat the same mistakes unironically while everyone suffers.
I know a guy says shit like that whenever we call him on some really obvious bullshit. Its lefte biased against this, and I'm sorry for assuming you're completely without basis.
