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!

No it absolutely could not. She doesnt want it and this is a racist and misogynist country. The GOP literally believes she's a trans dude and their media tells them that every day.
Stop trying to make MO happen. It's not gonna happen.
It's not as if any Democrat candidate was going to be sold as being great to the Republicans by their media so I don't know why you think that's an argument...
The US has already elected a black president twice so I guess the racists don't win overall? She's also seen in a much better light than Hillary Clinton, I do think a woman could have won 2016 if she had been not-Clinton.
Obama is a reaction to Bush and Iraq. Biden is a reaction to trump and fascism. Obama got shellaced in 2010. Democrats still do not control the Senate. Nothing has been the win you think it is.
2008, Obama's popular vote? 52.9%
2012? 51.1% (funny how he got elected twice with more than 50% of the vote in a country that's so racist it wouldn't elect a black person if it wasn't for Bush? 🤔)
2016 Clinton's? 48.18% (46.09% for Trump)
2020 with Harris as vice President? 51.31%
Looks to me like it's not that a woman or a black person can't win on their own merits, it's that the electoral system is fucked up in the USA.
Looks like you made my point for me as none of those are strong showings and still desplay reactive voting over proactive voting.
So Obama being elected a second time was a vote against Bush... That wasn't a eligible candidate at that point because he already was elected twice...
Yeah so I'm just going to ignore you from this point on because clearly you must have something against women and POC and don't want them in politics or something.
Wow look at all the slander you had to make up to cover your pathetic loss.
