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!

Every move the last couple days is showing that the republicans are terrified of a Harris battle
They are flailing around like a blind man in a boxing ring. They are completely unprepared for this turn of events and in a freefall panic.
I'm just a little surprised they are so unprepared and shitting their drawers. Their panic makes them look very weak and scared. It's pretty clear the idea of someone stepping down for the good of their party or country is completely alien to Trump.
It's awesome, because all of their grumbling, hearings, lawsuits, etc will just push the Harris name in the media. Biden played his trump card.
And here I was, pissed at the Democratic party for not having a transition plan after such a big fuss skipping the primary. Good thing the other side was even less prepared
How did we get here?
Cuz she can bring it!
Well that and I think they know trump is absolutely incapable of focusing for more than 30 seconds.
I saw a theory earlier that seems a little too plausible...trump is far enough down the dementia hole that he actually can't grasp that he isn't facing Biden any more, and that's a big part of the panic. Their candidate can't remember who he is running against.
Wow, that'd be bonkers, I really think mental fitness should be on the qualifiers for running. I get once they're in it being a fine line, but while running it's deceptive to the American people to hide health issues.
All that means is there’s something new to be brought every 30 seconds
Also, 39 seconds? Feeling generous, are we?
