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.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

Dude read the room

[–] ulkesh@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour 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.

[–] cenariodantesco@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not American but gimme that AOC baby

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

America will not vote for:

  1. A woman

  2. Any ethnicity

  3. Anyone under 60

[–] Cherries@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Kamala Harris did not lose because of those qualities. She lost because she ran as a diet Republican, going for a marginal victory.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

There was also all of that fraud

Even still, Harris couldn't beat an empty chair

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

Obama met 2/3 of those criteria

It's the woman part that America won't vote for

[–] core@leminal.space 5 points 7 hours ago

The DNC has won in court on the premise that they are a private institution and can nominate whoever they want and put whoever they want on the ballot.

[–] Mudman@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 hours ago

Everyone should vote for Afroman!

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago

Given by her parties recent rulings on how to deal with AIPAC, I don't believe anyone in that party knows what it requires.

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I know what it requires

Do you? You were happy to fund Bibi's genocide in Gaza, and it lost you the election. You moved to the right, and it lost you the election. You wouldn't distance yourself from Biden, and it lost you the election.

Take the hint.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Frankly, the American voting public cares less about the unjust deaths of untold many foreign folks than the price of eggs 8 months before the vote.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Sentiment is changing fast. People are fed up with pissrael. I don't know why happened but a massive ideological shift is occuring in the US on the left/center and weirdly a large portion of the right-tards. Pissrael, aipac, anything with zionist roots is toxic as shit right now. Thank fuck, it's about time we stop funding that genocidal regressive welfare state. Bizarre settlers and the fucking religious zealots running around with free healthcare while US citizens suffer a homelessness epidemic. It's a fucking embarrassment.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 hours ago

To be fair, all of those things would have been required of her as a dem president, she just wasn't supposed to do it until after the election.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Its fine, she has zero chance of winning a primary.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Not sure whether I'm missing an implied /s, but good joke either way

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 46 points 16 hours ago

If you lose to Donald Trump, you are literally unelectable.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 26 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Kamala and I have one more thing in common: We have the same exact chance of being elected President in 2028.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

But if we got all Americans together to vote for harris, then she would win, and the Republican party could go another four years without facing any consequences for the various crimes they've committed

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Now I'm going to vote for you.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

lol if you post here, you would definitely like my platform.

RICO charges for everyone in Trump's orbit and we're going after all their assets in civil forfeiture.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

But I don't even kn..... Ohh.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 21 points 17 hours ago

Kamala. Exit the echo chamber. Read the room. We need change, not a return to the status quo that gave us Trump 2.0. Don't be an opportunist.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 76 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Go home and stay there, you are not wanted, your fight is done.

You lost and you can never be what this world and country needs right now.

Fuck Newsome too.

I don't want centrist Republican playmates, I want progressive left scorched earth justice.

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 160 points 1 day ago (12 children)

A robust primary to find the best possible candidate?

She's an idiot to think her loss to a convict and rapist was anyone's fault but her own. She'll have even less of a chance against any reasonable candidate.
