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!

She failed to differentiate herself from biden in many different ways. One of which was her stance on genocide. Less people generally came out and voted for her in part due to these factors
Lol Americans didn't stay home for gaza, most Americans didn't give a shit about that.
It was always about the cost of living. The average Democratic voter mindset is: "I voted Biden last time and nothing changed except food got more expensive, why bother voting"
You're right that most American's didn't give a shit, but even those who did knew that the genocide was not on the ballot.
Or rather, "no genocide plz" wasn't on the ballot. Not on a viable choice, FPTP voting, etc, etc. The choices were "same old stuff" and "foot on the gas, bomb it into pink and gray dust and build a chintzy resort."
Cuz they all went to billionaire schools that tells them support billionaires and the economy will be good.
"vote for the least worse bruh"
We don't want to vote for the least worse, we want to vote for the best.
And wow Bernie is right again.
I blame it on people too stupid to vote for someone other than Trump.
Couch sitters, too. If you're so apathetic or ignorant you think not voting because you erroneously believed the BoTH sIDeS bullshit or voting Trump was better, that is the problem.
But then you must trace the root of why people are ignorant and apathetic to the right-wing propaganda machine both foreign and domestic.
Blue no matter who’s, too. People blindly supporting their party and trying to silence any criticism leading to a party that only gets worse each election, are the problem.
Despite people’s ignorance on the topic the Democrats are also apart of the global right wing propaganda machine mind you, they are also a capitalist party.
And Bernie would be right. I hope to god that Kamala sits out the next election.
It's not just Kamala Harris, it is democrats in general. I get that they want the first woman president ... but its not going to happen in this political environment. Many Hatian immigrants that voted for Trump just because they don't think a woman can be president. Copy that ... Trump said these people are eating cats and they still voted for him. Hispanics? News flash, they are predominantly Catholic ... so Pro Choice doesn't go over well for them. Then people got angry because Kamala skipped the whole nomination prosses. Stuff like this is why she lost. Biden should have ran, then resigned after he beat Trump again.
Biden wasn't ever going to beat trump after that complete failure of a debate. Harris was the dems Hail Mary play after they finally realized that.
No way Biden wins a second time. His mind was critically failing during the debates, the average voter saw that, and minorities didn't win him the election overall, white people did.
No shit…
I wish I could believe that.
I mean, don't get me wrong - it would've been a better route to take in any case, whether it delivered the campaign from defeat or not.
But I have no faith in my fellow Americans to choose politicians or policies that represent their best interests.
