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.

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!

You had your chance, it’s Bernie-Alex time now
Frankly, I’d be a bit surprised if she doesn’t get heckled off the stage for selling us all down the fucking river.
Could she have done better? Maybe. But I still think her losing had way more to do with more of the country being sexist and racist at heart than we'd like to believe
That was a factor, I think.
But imo, a much bigger factor was the fact that she just didn’t bother to meaningfully differentiate herself from Biden much at all. She started to… and then the DNC brain trust and all the political consultants made her pull it all back, and put a muzzle on Walz, who VERY FUCKING CLEARLY had his head on straight in terms of understanding what normal Americans were struggling with. Instead, they decided to chase the mythical “undecided voter”, and succeeded in alienating a shocking quantity of demographics that they should have had in the fucking bag.
When you don’t listen to your fucking constituents, they’re not going to vote for you. It’s not that hard of an equation to solve.
Don't forget the fabled "swing republicans". Look man I think it says a lot that the Cheney's are as fucking appalled at the idea of fascist America as I am but posting up next to them is the worst fucking thing a Dem can do. EVERY leftist and Democrat alike remembers what Dick is and stands for.
Some of us saw the alternative and did what we had to but goddamn that was a stupid move
Her losing was due to the fact that she was the rightmost candidate the DNC could find in their ranks. People keep saying that Hillary and Kamala lost because they were women. How about we try running women who are at least slightly left of Regan before we say the problem is just that people are sexist.
Doesn't change the fact that the whole campaign shit the bed in every way possible too
Completely agree. But I also understand why she wouldn't say a thing. She lost the popular vote to Trump, she was flat out rejected by the American people. If she can make it back to the Senate, good for her, but she unfortunately has no business being on the national stage.
