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!

Please, no. I respect that Harris had an uphill battle in 2024, and that Biden handed her an absolute shit show of a campaign to clean up; and it's a miracle the election was actually as close as it was... but please, no. Harris ran away after the election and stayed absent for 7 months while the US turned to fucking shit.
we need fighters., Not fairweather bandwagoneers. Sorry.
She was a bad candidate to start with and the abbreviated campaign had little to do with it. She couldn't even handle the few assignments the Biden cabinet gave her, so they had to keep her in the dark.
That’s just another way Biden fucked her over.
Remember all the promises to develop leadership in the DNC during the 2020 campaign? The whole one term stuff? (that while Biden never explicitly said personal was the message going out by his campaign staff.)
Harris was supposed to be the next, and he absolutely didn’t give her the support to do anything.
Biden got his foot in the door then went out of his way to silence any other possible successor and when it finally became clear to him he fucked every thing up; he fucked off to fuckerville.
At that point we needed a candidate to start running pretty much that day. Settling on any other candidate would have taken time we did not have.
I just realized I've been debating you in two different threads.
No, she fucked herself over.

On top of that, how the fuck do you campaign on border security when dems were appalled by the treatment of migrants there? Her whole decision to attract the right by being strong on borders made no sense at all.
Everyone flubs. How many flubs did people excise from Biden? At least once every speech.
What does going to visit the border in what is clearly a stupid waste of time, have to do with writing good immigration policy?
Absolutely fucking nothing. It was a stupid question and one meant to force and error.
