Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 know what it requires".

I refer you to Sun Tzu: One may know how to conquer but not be able to do so.

She's gonna do it dude..... Once again, they think they can't lose, so they'll aim as close as possible

[–] ulkesh@piefed.social 10 points 6 days ago

As much as I might like her, she will not win. No one likes hearing this, but there are simply too many racist and misogynist voters for her to ever win. Then add the fact that a convicted felon and likely pedophile won against her already.

It’s time to move on from the typical DNC bullshit and get someone who will vow to prosecute every last corrupt piece of shit in this current administration and vow to impeach and remove all corrupt judges and justices, especially those put there by this administration.

The DNC needs to stop fucking around.

Stealing AOC’s thunder.

Tell me liberal Dems aren’t controlled opposition.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

If she knew what was required she wouldn't have lost to trump.

[–] oh_@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

No, you do not.

You know, as much as I think the people who didn't vote for her for that reason are morons ; they are very unlikely yo change their minds : unless she publicly and obviously decries the genocide in Palestine, they will make the same mistake again.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

I don't think that's enough. That was a reason not to vote for her. She never gave us any compelling reasons to vote for her other than "I'm not trump". Considering she has the gravitas of a dead cod, she's going to need some really compelling policy plans to pull it off.

I wouldn't worry much about this. I say we wait until she actually steps up to the primary, and then we collectively smear her until she steps down, or ends up with the results she had in the 2020 primary.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

It requires being anti genocide. Kamala, you lack this qualification. Retire already. You lost, you deserved to lose, screw you for being pro genocide. We deserved better. The world deserved better. Still does.

just die already
