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!

Oh I've stopped worrying about the odds, pretty sure we are permafucked. I'd like to be wrong and it's not going to keep me me from voting blue down the panel.
Just that I know from my own experience cultural racism and misogyny is still a ridiculously powerful force, even among progressives.
And you are giving the public way too much credit. Almost no one really cares about accomplishments when it really boils down to it. It is all about how a person makes one feel, and that is largely informed by media that is notably NOT them enacting their policies.
Yes she has a good list of positive accomplishments, and has demonstrated her skill at statesmanship consistently to those who follow such things, but that isn't your average voter. Or even your average swing voter.
There isn't nearly as much cultural awareness of her as there is of a certain pants-shitting spraytanned twice impeached and 34 time felon, and people are gullible and easily swayed.
I want to be wrong because I in at least two groups of the people that cheetolini's camp squads want to come after first, but I've already been acting on plans to get my family out of the country for the last 8 hours and I don't plan on being on my home soil longer than it takes to vote in November and get on a plane.
If you want to be wrong, shut up and help get literally anyone capable of the job into the oval office before Mr. Impeached for Insurrection gets another go at it
Nobody asked. Maybe go share your pathetic surrender in your own comment thread instead of attaching it as a reply to mine? Get some better feedback that way.
Tune your bot better, I think it's stuck in high school vapelad mode.
Off topic, but fidget spinners fucking rock. Btw whats your favorite vape flavor, bruh? I stick to Grape 3%.
