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.

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!

Hello, friend. I am Ohio Redditor. Kamala make bad for economic. Thank you not vote at her.
She get us in quagmire in Ukraine. Better to not send weapon. Many thank.
And broken English Twitter anime profile accounts say she has a funny laugh!
Gods, I hate our discourse.
Stewart/Porter!!!
It's fascinating how much stronger her position feels now compared to 4 years ago. Seeming young and vigorous in comparison to Biden does her wonders. She also has the benefit of still being able to take credit for the largely successful Biden/Harris term while being immune to the age rhetoric. Going to be very interesting how this plays out.
She seems young and vigorous in comparison to Biden. She seems sane and competent in comparison to Trump. She seems lacking in brain worms in comparison to RFK. She's a triple threat!
She seems young and vigorous in comparison to Biden AND Trump. Remember, Trump is ~80, jagged and disheveled looking, and can’t talk cohesively or sensically.
Not to mention being black and female makes Republican brains reboot immediately. First pass at taking her down is literally “she laughs” because they can’t resort to the real nasty stuff without losing two important demographics
Understanding this is a good thing, and being optimistic about defeating drumpf this year, can we all stop to appreciate how disgusting our political process is?
$81,000,000.00 in 24 hours. We routinely fail to help those that need it most, but we'll raise massive amounts of money to (mostly) throw at media companies owned by people whose wealth already affords them the most privileged and luxurious of lives.
Yeah what the actual fuck, this country could have given that $81M to me instead.
I'll take half of that!
I'll take 1/81th
I'll have 81/1ths
Fuck these headlines.
She didn't get 81 million. The DNC and other candidates got a total of 81 million.
The article says this but the headline is intentionally misleading.
But why did they raise 81 million? What happened?
I gave to the DNC. I specifically did not give to the Joe Biden or Harris reelection fund. I imagine others are in the same boat - telling him their congressperson to push Joe out or they wouldn't give.
Its lazy reporting and dishonesty on part of actblue
Your situation is entirely anecdotal. I am not denying that some donators are not donating to Kamala specifically.
But did you donate in the last 24-48 hours? If so, why if not for Kamala. If not, then you're not the people I'm asking about.
Lots more donations came in for a reason. I am asking for you to define what that reason would be.
After Joe was out but before all the delegates confirmed for Harris.
Surely that makes no sense. Why would a donator that doesn't like Kamala donate money immediately within 24 hours, when Kamala was almost certainly going to be the next pick?
It doesn't make sense.
Fuck the republican traitor filth.
?
He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit!
Just spit balling here, but what might happen if Harris taps an out-in-the-woods Republican like, I dunno, Adam Kinzinger as a running mate on a unity ticket? He was a pretty middle of the road Republican and participated in the J6 investigation.
He's not a seated Democrat, and doesn't seem actively to be seeking office. He's clearly no fan of Trump...
I'll see myself out now.
Unlikely to happen unless he formally changes parties, even going (I) might be sufficient though.
The problem is that there are a lot of racists who won't take kindly to her election, and if the worst happens her VP will take over. Putting even a moderate Republican there may give them more of a reason to try something uncouth, thinking her replacement would be better.
