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!

Nah, see, this is a problem. IIRC, a lot of Hillary's 2016 campaign team got put in charge of the Kamalampaign, and it shows, imo. They basically ran the 2016 playbook from cover to cover, including the completely useless "we made no mistakes, Americans are just awful" retrospective. People were fucking jazzed when Kamala and Walz showed up, and Kamala's left-leaning record was really being talked up. Then, they started talking about their platform, and it was somehow an even more uninteresting mish-mash of Biden 2020 and Clinton 2016. I'd say it was arguably closer to Hillary's platform in 2016 than Biden's; I remember Biden at least had some interesting talking points like rail revitalization.
People are drowning, everyone feels broke because the working class hasn't seen a meaningful wage increase for fifty years while everything has kept getting more expensive. There's a frankly shocking amount of people for whom rent consumes 40% or more of their income; that's half you paycheck gone just to not be homeless, and now you've got to pay everything else. I don't blame folks for wanting to wreck the system. I blame the democrats for not reading the fucking room; the house is on fire and they're offering little toy buckets and saying "sorry, we got bullied by our own party, so this is the best we can do. Btw, the fire is all in your head."
They could have done better, they just didn't want to. For whatever reason, there's strong elements in the Democratic party that are fucking convinced that the best way to win elections is to never offer anything of substance ever, and just rely on not being the other candidate.
your not wrong but I live in the south, if you think black woman had nothing to do with it you’re wrong
I've lived in the south. That's fair.
