Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It would be weird for Democratic women of color to come out against a Democratic woman of color.
While true, it should not mean they automatically support her. That's tokenism. However, of shes got the credentials, which KH has, they would be foolish not to support her.
Even if they didn't agree with her I think it would be much more foolish for them to support Trump...
They could support another candidate, however, that would show disunity. Better to band together with an acceptable candidate, at this point.
By all accounts, she is acceptable and she was made VP knowing Biden was old and planned to step down.
However, they should also do so knowing the establishment of the Democratic party are out if touch and have no problem pushing their own agenda even when its clear that its a bad plan. A la Biden first time, pushing out Sanders, Clinton, dumping biden second time. All against supposed principles.
America is so racist. It's strange.
I would think her policy and strength as a person would be the factors worth considering.
Please to see some of you are just thinking about casting though.
Ah, you must be one of those people who agree with the Supreme Court that believes we're in a post-racial society!
No racism or sexism problems in Amerika! /s
Depends which society you are referring to. I'm Irish I love in Ireland. And although I make no claims that Ireland is post racial.. it's sure af less racial alliance round than America.
I lived there too. Firs time I ever heard the n word being used with full unabashed sincerity. At the age of.. 25 odd.
Yes, everyone knows people of a certain skin tone all think and vote the same... /s
Madeleine Albright — "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."
Uh... is that what you think the 2024 election is all about??
Not all about, but it's a big deal!!
Do you think that quote means vote for your fellow women or burn in hell? What happens if it is a choice between two women candidates?
