Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

“If anyone is going to challenge Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination, they have only until this weekend to do it,” Politico reports.

“Delegates to the Democratic National Convention rules committee approved the virtual roll call on Wednesday, moving ahead with a July 30 deadline for candidates seeking to collect delegate signatures to appear on the virtual roll call. The virtual roll call, which must be completed by Aug. 7 to comply with Ohio ballot access deadlines, could start as early as next Thursday.”

Harris already has more than 3000 out of 4000 delegates to the DNC. That is about 75%. In another three days, she will have over 85%. Any challenger wouldn’t even have minimum threshold of delegates needed to be placed as a nominee. So, you better move fast if you're in.

I hope there are none only because I can't think of a challenger that would have a chance, for it to not be anything more than a counterproductive waste of time and capital.

Didn't Tulsi come out recently shitting all over Kamala bring up old baggage?

I agree though hopefully everybody just shuts the fuck up, the most important thing now is to ride this new wave of excitement and beat trump. Beating trump is all that matters.

The potential Bernie running mate turned Republican? Who gives a damn about her opinion anymore?

[–] Eldritch 6 points 3 months ago

Only potential to those not paying attention. I'm not saying people can't move beyond their past and better themselves. Tulsi hasn't and won't. Which is why despite voting for sanders in the 16 and 20 primaries. Tulsi was the only candidate I liked less than Biden in 20. Tulsi and biden were the two I disliked more than Harris. So we're definitely moving in the right direction.

Everyone is a potential running mate of anyone during the primaries. We have no idea if she was even considered for that.

Except for Ted Cruz's 2016 hail Mary where he said Carly Fiorina would be his VP, hoping that would get him to beat Trump. Lol, Ted.

[–] JustZ 2 points 3 months ago

Tulsi is a Russian operative. She will not be shutting up. She wants Trump to win.

What are the rules on hiring fake delegates to vote for me? I hear that's okay these days
