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!

Yup! That quote from Biden is absolutely fucking unacceptable. If you are unable to guarantee a success then get the fuck out of the way and lets find someone (not Harris) that can.
What if it is Harris?
We may not like it, but Harris has a better chance of winning against Trump.
I, for one, like it. I think she would do a better job than Lemmy thinks she will. I would love to see her debate Trump.
Think you're right, she'd do well against him. I just don't like her. Some of her news bits had me thinking: Trump for Democrats
Her whole career has been Fighting Against the People. If she'd fight billionaires and corporations like she took down stoners, I might think differently about her.
There’s no point in anyone debating someone who just blatantly lies continuously.
It was stupid of Biden to do it and it would be stupid of anyone, even Michelle Obama to bother letting him spout his bullshit like he did.
The only possible exception is someone like Gavin Newsom or AOC. Someone who could bring the zingers for his bullshit.
I listened to Newsom on Fox. I would pay high dollars to watch that debate. Or Katie Porter.
If she wins - good for her - if she loses, let it end her political career forever because she contributed to ending democracy.
Its not. People hate her
It sort of has to be Harris because the moneys on her, literally. The Biden Harris campaign currently holds hundreds of millions in campaign donations, if Harris becomes the nominee she can use that money pretty easily, but if someone else takes over transferring that money becomes way more complex if it's even possible.
The only solution I've heard to that problem is refunding them all with instructions to donate to the new person. That seems like it will produce some dollars for the new candidate, but way less than what is refunded.
