I love getting old. I don't know who this person is so I get to not care about their opinion.

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!

One particular issue that Roan would like to be highlighted is “trans rights” adding, “They cannot have cis people making decisions for trans people, period.”
Ok… and you’re telling people to use “critical thinking”? Anybody want to think critically here?
More like Dave Chappelle Roan, amirite? 😅
Ahh good that she wants to vote. But it is myopic.
She didn't say anything wrong. There are issues with both sides, and one side can be worse than another. Vote for what you think it is right. I'm just glad she is really supportive toward causes like Gaza and helps, and won't blindly endorse someone actively endorsed by Dick Cheney and courting republicans.
Harris said she wants to earn support, so I don't understand why her base flies into a rage if people are skeptical over her or can't gloss over issues.
As discussion, I'm not her base. But I argue about voting strategy with a Harris conclusion.
I'm deeply unsatisfied with the democratic position on Gaza and beyond. But I'm in the anti trump base. I believe global well being, including in Gaza will be significantly worse if he gets a second term.
I will vote for any competitive, viable candidate that is left of trump, the more left the better. I will not vote for an academic choice that has no chance of winning, and is only a spoiler. Without ejection reform, and something like proportional representation, I believe one should choose based on harm reduction, even if the choice is very unsavory.
