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!

I’m not American, but yes I would have held my nose and voted for Harris just as most people on the left I know did.
If Harris had spent time giving people some actual reasons to get excited to vote for her she would have had a surge, which is what I had been saying the entire time.
I was also in the camp of people saying they needed to drop Biden while all you people were yelling at me that he needed to stay in. No shit the Dems had a surge in support when Harris stepped in. And you were all surprised. Then I was saying she needed to take a principled stance on Palestine and stand up to Israel. She would have got the next surge they needed but I kept getting shouted down by liberals. Imagine if they had spent some of that energy pushing Harris to actually do something that would inspire people.
“I’m speaking!” Get fucked.
You can’t count on people showing up in numbers when all you’re doing is giving them reasons to begrudgingly show up and vote for you because the alternative is worse. You need to actually give them a reason to get excited.
The DNC and liberals are just bad strategists and amoral people. They fucked up and doomed us all. And the first thing they want to do is try to pin the blame on Palestinians for not being genocided quietly enough and other oppressed minorities for not voting hard enough.
Minority groups are never going to be large enough to swing the vote anyway.
There was nothing for the working class. Just pandering to Republicans who were never going to vote for her.
