Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The article is a bit difficult to really summarize because the writer goes over many examples from the book, but this paragraph near the end of the article seems like a good enough condensation of it (I only briefly skimmed the article - it is pretty long):

By now, there is a mountain of evidence that Joe Biden was not capable of carrying on as president, let alone moving into a second term. Harris’s excuses and prevarications on that matter are no longer worth taking into account. The more pressing question is: what kind of a candidate did we get in Kamala Harris? 107 Days shows us a great deal of who she was and is, and it’s a disconcerting sight. Harris does not emerge as a gifted and visionary politician, or even a moderately skilled one. The book confirms what many on the left have known for a long while: that Harris has neither the qualifications nor the expertise to lead the world’s most powerful country.

Um... pretty sure she could do a hell of a lot better than what is currently going on right now. She's not my favorite pick by far, but what qualifications or expertise do you really need at this point? The presidency is now officially a joke.

Thanks,

Exactly, I ended up reading the first third or so, but thanks for the Paragraph, that seems like the author's own TLDR.
The only one she would have been better than is of course Trump, but here we are...
