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 electing Kamala would increase division because the last time we had a black president the racists lost their fucking shit.
To which I say: Good. Fuck those assholes. Die mad.
This is why I want a woman president so bad. Clinton was a weak candidate but Harris is stronger. Once Harris wins, the misogynists and incels will all lose their minds. So will the bigots and racists. It's like one stone, hitting multiple angry hateful birds in one win.
I want to see it. "GUD DAMN WOMUN NI...HOW DARE SHE WIN HGUHFSGHSG!!"
Clinton had a hell of a resume for POTUS, but just isn't the most likable candidate. The DNC really should have rallied behind Bernie Sanders and we might have pulled off 2016.
Even then, she won the popular vote. By a lot.
She's a weak candidate considering that:
She's not the Bill Clinton that built America back up through the 90s that H.W Bush and Reagan ruined and prior to the Monica incident.
She took away all momentum from Bernie Sanders, who people did actually want. This was 2016 so it was a chaotic mess where SJWs existed so they were more about "we need the first woman president to make history!" without caring that Hillary was the corporate representative side of the Democrats. Something we absolutely did not need.
So she's no Bill Clinton and Bernie Sanders was taken away from us. Now we were down between a rock and a hard place between Clinton and Trump. Sure, the popular vote might've been in Clinton's favor. However I still to this day think that we just had no choice ultimately. Same venue with Biden vs Trump.
