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!

I thought so, too. I'd be interested in seeing what these exact people think now that she's said all that. Will that be enough for them? Or will they still refuse to vote for her. The article was written before she said what she said, so I imagine we will find out eventually. There's also people who vote for Republicans actively trying to sew discontent in democratic voters about it. A month or so back, I read another article that was similar to this one where one of the campaigners for the uncommitted movement was a republican strategist. In that article, as well as this one, there's the quote that they won't be convinced to be scared of a Muslim ban when their families are actively being killed right now. Some even saying that Trump could just randomly decide not to support the genocide because he's unpredictable. And that, if they have to choose between a ban and a genocide, they'll take the ban. Which, I get the thought process, but it's still short-sighted not to realize that their families will have a harder time surviving under a Trump presidency. Feels like a bad faith argument.
This topic is genuinely frustrating and could very well decide the election. People willing to throw away decades of progress because they don't want to compromise. Some viewing it as themselves "remaining pure". Incredibly frustrating.
