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, too, fail to see any difference between a verbal gaffe while not actually being in command, and a 4 year track record as the head of govt with a demonstrated propensity to spur insurrection, rape, conflict of interest and carrying out stated threats against political and international opponents, oh, and he did say he wanted Israel to have at it in Gaza, evict the Palestinians, try for a third term, and destroy the environment.
I must be a dumbass. Maybe I'll sit out the most important election in my lifetime, next time. Duh.
She was tripping over herself to say she was just like Biden, throating Liz Cheney, and saying we will have "the most lethal military" while her administration starves bombs and starves a population of mostly refugee children. Telling her base to shut up and let her talk.
Why aren't you angry at her for being dogshit?
Who's saying I'm not angry at her? She never had an administration. She was vice president, and nobody talks about pence. I'm saying compared to trump, who actually has a track record of fascist atrocities as commander in chief, she's a fucking saint! Trump said he'd deport gazans and let Israel have it's way with them. He is a convicted rapist and impeached felon. Yet here we are...
