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!

Its funny right, because her first point is valid, but she' doesn't address the fact that there was a literally ARMY of media and online sycophants defending Joe Biden staying in the race. That wall of cowards is actually what prevented us from having a real primary, or getting Biden to step down, when even going back to 2023, he had almost no chance of winning the race.
Its also telling that there was no mention of Harris's Gaza position. Her disdain for Muslim/ Arab voters. Obama's condesension towards black male voters. Harris's clear step to the right and adopting of neo-conservatives into the campaign. The refusal at the DNC to give a Gazan a microphone and allow them to be a part of the party. It should be pretty obvious to most people right now why Harris is struggling (this should not be a close race), and no, its not because she picked Waltz as a VP.
Don't leave out Bill Clinton's remarks about Muslim voters last night
Christ, that was the most tonedeaf thing I've heard out of any Clinton, which is an exceedingly low bar to limbo under.
Even when it's the "most important election ever", they don't just pull out all the stops to ensure it's a shoe-in - they try to finesse it down to a hair, and get away with 99% of the bastardry of the other guy.
Exactly the same thing here in Australia, every single fucking time. And 90% of the time, they lose.
What complete and utter horse-shit. This level of stupid thinking is why Trump is even still allowed to be in the race.
