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!

Nah, she's an idiot who goes around giving lucrative Rah-Rah speeches to fucking Wall Street Banks mid-campaign, and also acted super entitled to the Office (like it was "her turn" lol). She villifies herself sufficiently and necessarily without the externalities
Porque no los dos? To be clear, I don't think she's an "idiot" at all. She's very intelligent, and is a good statesperson. I do think she lacks a sense of cultural awareness that leads to her saying and doing things that come off pretentious and entitled, AND the right has been trying to destroy her career since the early 90s
That’s pretty evident.
And this was pretty ~~unnecessary~~ redundant
You’re unnecessary
You’re a dick.
Yeah I regret not voting for her over trump, but I viewed both of them as trash candidates. The DNC corruption to support her over Bernie left me bitter and I couldn't stomach casting a vote for a chronic lying career politician in the pocket of the banks.
I have never been a Biden fan either, viewing him as a career politician who was always regarded as a centrist (e.g., drug policy) before the political spectrum went full tilt to the right. But I happily voted for Biden over trump and will vote for any candidate over him. I can also acknowledge the good Biden's presidency has done.
But Hillary Clinton is the biggest reason trump won. She is so unlikable and far from a progressive or honest politician. I would've voted for any other dem candidate back in 2016. It was the first election I could vote in, but I abstained when my decision was between a giant douche and a shit sandwich. Most people I knew in college at the time felt the same way. She never had the support of young adults.
As much as I hated the trump presidency, at the same time, I was selfishly satisfied seeing her lose after the DNC/Debbie Wasserman Schultz scandal and Hillary Clinton's pompous, obnoxious entitlement and "It's my turn!" mentality. Let's not forget that she and Bill Clinton were also friends with epstein and trump, and were in the same social circles before the 2016 run...
Ya for real
