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!

Almost as if it was not about gender
If you look at the voter statistics mainly white and Latino men stayed at home for Kamala after voting for Joe Biden.
Sorry reality is hard for you to process.
If you have a better theory why specifically these groups of men sat out besides the sexism we know they have problems with then im all ears.
Thanks.
This bit sounds infuriating, even just reading it:
So you will never be able to buy a house, you are starting to skip lunch to save money, the government is boasting about how great everything is, and they wouldn't change anything at all, everything is fucking great, at least the Cheneys said so, the opposition wants to deport you to some country you probably only heard about in high school geography.
And in the campaign, in exchange for your vote, you get a... drumroll... dedicated WhatsApp group! And if that doesn't motivate you to go vote, you're sexist and racist, and you are the reason Harris lost.
It's just a constant shooting in the foot for Harris and I was just going "Jesus Christ, they can't blame third party voters this time, will they blame Progressives or BIPOC if we lose?"
Turns out, both.
So the high cost of living caused them to vote for Trump's inflationary National Sales Tax and inflationary gigantic tax cuts for billionaires?
They didn't vote for Trump, they didn't vote for Harris. Trump didn't gain the voters, Harris lost millions of voters.
Democrats weren't going to vote for the Candidate who had no primary, was decided upon race/sexist promotion, and was unable to show definitive reasons why she would be ifferent than Biden.
Biden didn't win the last primary because of his personal votes, he won because all of the other candidates gave him their Primary votes after Super Tuesday to stop Bernie from being the nominee again.
The DNC was not supported this time because the Democrat voters were against the coronation of Kamala, but did vote down-ballot the Democrats. Voting wasn't a zero-sum choice, many people like me, didn't vote for a president because the DNC was being fascist about the candidate.
The DNC is no longer the party of the worker, it's the party of the bosses and bankers, with the Hollywood shills paid to support their Candidate. The people aren't owed their votes, the same way companies aren't owed a purchase when they make a product that customers don't want. We can't have a marketplace of ideas if the DNC blocks all other ideas.
Sorry that reality is hard for you to process, but Trump got elected because Harris ran a dogshit campaign pandering to nonexistent Republicans who actually somehow like Biden. That's it, that's all.
Just because she's a woman, you are not sexist for not voting for her. I also wouldn't vote for Nancy Reagan or Eva Braun. Or Thatcher for that matter.
You're allowed to go look at which groups voted differently,
It shouldn't be this much of a struggle for you to engage with reality.
Maybe you need to self reflect on why that is
So you're saying just because men voted differently, that means they voted differently because she's a woman.
To be honest, that insinuation is actually sexist.
I'm a white male who voted for Harris in California.
I know lots of white men and Latino men and Black men who voted for Harris in my state. The other choice was "Deport first, then kill the rest."
It's weirdly sexist/bigoted from liberals to say men instantly hate a woman who runs.
