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!

I think we should just forget talking about Turnip and just talk about Kamala Harris instead.
Did you know her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a biologist who arrived in the United States from India in 1958.
That's an uplifting fact. Tell me more!
As the San Francisco district attorney and the attorney general of California, Harris was the first woman, the first African American, and the first Asian American to hold each office.
More, more!
Born in Oakland, California on October 20, 1964, the eldest of two children born to Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher from India, and Donald Harris, an economist from Jamaica.
Not just any economist, one very highly regarded in his field. He's also made no secret of his being a Marxist and I'm amazed they haven't been making more hay out of that.
On the other hand, Jamaica has been getting better and better economically because of his ideas, so maybe they shouldn't.
They have been trying to make a big deal about this.
I don't even think dude was a "marxist". He just studied/researched marxism like any reasonable economist.
I don't want to pay to read his entire paper, but from the preview page, it looks like he was at least sympathetic to Marx's ideas.

Fuck yeah, FlyingSquid! Jam your knowledge into my brain hole!
Most people who have suffered oppression choose not to become the oppressor.
How would that apply to Trump? Never once oppressed, yet wants to be "Day-1 dictator". Is it just people who have had privileged upbringings that grow up to become fascists? It does kinda seem that way the more i think about it...
