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!

Please point out where I expressed any kind of support for her running, or where I implied that she should run in any manner or form. Please do.
Because I'm fairly certain I pointed out that she wasn't a good candidate, that the Dems should've picked someone better.
I'm also fairly certain that I made it super clear that the main issue was indeed that she was the main candidate (and that she replaced Biden too late but I think that's obvious). That was deterring enough for most. But even then, there were enough people who would've voted for the 'not Trump' candidate even if it was a literal sack of sentient horse shit, for that candidate to win.
However, your sentiment is wrong here. Absolutely no candidate is immune to this kind of Russian meddling, because no Democrat that would make it onto the ballot would want to upset the moneymen - the people behind the defense companies that make the big bucks supplying Israel with weapons, so that that rogue apartheid genocide state can keep poking its much more powerful neighbours.
The problem is that people seemingly lack critical thinking, and consider Kamala not coming out against Israel somehow worse than Trump directly supporting it. I mean the core of the problem is that the US political system is geared towards a two-party approach, which means there will never be a good candidate for people with good conscience, so it's not about voting for a good candidate, but preventing the worst from entrenching himself as king. But hey if you want that chip on your shoulder that you didn't vote for the one who didn't say the word genocide, and by that allowed the one who will do anything to appease the ones committing genocide, so yay, you did so good!
