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 didn't say it wasn't risky. I'm saying what I heard. But, I also don't think it's that risky.
She would be a much better debater and candidate, and it would likely erase much of the voter apathy with the huge 40 and under group. Especially with abortion and womans rights on the table.
And I'm a huge Bernie supporter, but we've seen several times now that the DNC isn't going to give him a chance. So who else you got cause Bernie's chance died in 2016
The thing is, is (Michelle) Obama even interested in politics? I'll admit I'm quite ignorant of her career in politics other than having been the First Lady.
I'd vote for her over Biden or Trump any day, though.
I got nobody else besides her and Sanders. Maybe Schumer? AOC 😂?
I absolutely love AOC as well, but she'll be in the Bernie boat. Too "socialist", and would push many centrist to vote red.
I don't think Michelle is really interested, but it was just an exciting thought to me when I was seeing it pop up.
I don't know if I'd love it, but Andy Beshear could pull his Kentucky magic, and possibly steal a bunch of Trump voters with the hayseeds.
It's all looking like wishful thinking though, regardless
