Vice President Harris said during an interview with ABC News' "The View" on Tuesday that "there is not a thing that comes to mind" when asked whether she would've done anything differently than President Biden.

I think that's some irresponsible shit right here. Whether or not she thinks that, she has to maneuver around the bad perceptions of the current presidency at least in words. Saying what she said is a godsend to Trump's campaign.

Biden has been the best Democratic president in recent memory - better than Obama and sure as fuck better than the neoliberal train wreck that was Clinton.

I think sticking with his policies would be good but for fucks sake democrats need to actually sell the good shit they're doing. Lean into Khan, the dockerworkers union, college debt forgiveness... stop being afraid of the socialist label because whatever the fuck we do Fox will call it socialism.

Err but, get your fucking head together about Isreal - that's been a fucking blunder and only in the bubble of DC do pundits think it plays well with voters.

I completely agree. I’m personally not a fan of Biden or his policies (I voted for him, and I will vote for Harris), but using any objective metric you are spot on. He has been the best president in modern history for the economy, inflation, jobs, and restoring some of our reputation on the world stage. The actual numbers back all that up. His biggest mistake (an unforgivable one that will define his legacy imo) is how he has dealt with Israel, but obviously the alternative would be way worse.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
