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!

Her campaign crew is taking anything the other side throws her way and flipping it over to her advantage. It looks like they are doing it quick enough to direct the narrative a bit.
It's nice to see the Dems being closer to proactive. (As opposed to sitting for weeks doing nothing)
Maybe have a narrative about what the roles would likely be, if neither were politicians, and they were to meet in court.
Chances are Harris would be the prosecutor, and Trump the CRIMINAL trying to defend himself.
There is no doubt which of the two are on the right side of the law and morality.
being a prosecutor does not automatically put you on the right side and being a felon does not automatically put you on the wrong side
you comment as if you never had to talk to a prosecutor before
most of them will attempt to make you less than human while putting themselves on a righteous pedestal while conversing with someone
not defending Trump but putting prosecutors on the side of good on a binary playing field is slippery slope
I specifically write that Trump would be the CRIMINAL. No doubt about who is on the right side, because of course we want criminals to be prosecuted, dont we?
I have now changed CRIMINAL to be in bold capital letters, so it's easier to see.
Being a CRIMINAL is different from being accused. Which is what you respond to.
Remember Trump is a CRIMINAL, already judged on 34 felonies, despite his heavy attempts to claim presidential privilege, and delay cases on and on.
Without the privileges chances are that he would have been found guilty already in many more cases.
being a prosecutor does not mean you are automatically on the right side nor does being a criminal automatically put you on the wrong side
Harris needs to downplay her role as a prosecutor and try to rise above it
places like Georgia with Cop City might not see a prosecutor as a positive nor would a family that has been torn apart by prosecutors and laws/legislations such as the 94 Crime Bill
people fighting for the civil rights movement were in the wrong in the eyes of the police and prosecutors but they were not wrong on law and morality
law and morality are not defined by prosecutors or law it is defined by votes from citizens otherwise it is not a democracy
