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!

The impression I keep getting is that these people do not feel like she'd be a good president, but I don't know why anyone thinks that. One person did tell me Trump "literally gave me money" when he was in power, so I don't know what to think lol
Trump didn't. He just signed a bill introduced by others.
Democratic politicians pushed for and voted for giving all citizens a payout when the pandemic forced everybody to isolate, which happened when Trump was president.

And was delayed by him insisting that his name was on it, iirc.
Ah, I think I remember people being very excited about how they were going to spend the money they received!
If you want to have a fun* time, press the matter on why they feel that way.
Well, uh, she cackles or something. Translation: she laughs. OMG, just like Hillary did!
This seems to be the extent of their argument. Meanwhile, because Kamala laughs and doesn't have a penis, that kind of argument stands, but the tone police will rush in to tell everyone in a Very Serious Way that talking about JD's couch fuckin' is not something anyone Very Serious should ever do, LOL. Um, why? If Kamala's supposed "cackle" is a supposed issue, why isn't JD's alleged couch fuckin'?
You know what? When my friends send me endless memes in the chat, I too cackle like Kamala. It's nice to have a presidential candidate with so much joy in her heart that she cannot help but share it.
Unlike trump, who I don't think I've ever seen laugh, chuckle, chortle, or anything else that would remotely telegraph joy other than a froggy grin when he's leering at his daughter.
