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!

Kamala ended up being a better choice than I could have imagined. Republicans can't help themselves when you have a black candidate and a woman. They are now being the racist and xenophobic bigots we knew they would and they'll lose the black vote and women votes. The two categories that I think made up the majority of swing voters this election cycle. Let's hope Kamala doesn't mess up her VP pick.
What if Kamala picks a devout Jew who is an open critic of Netanyahu and the war on Gaza? The media couldn't call him anti-Semitic as easily, could they? Maybe they could announce it somewhere near his birthplace.
Narrator Voice: They could.
Seriously though, it's not like the idiots listening to the nonsense have any logic behind the garbage they parrot, so it wouldn't surprise me.
I think he'd make an excellent pick for VP, though I'd also say so would many of the options on the apparent short list. I guess we will find out soon who the official pick is.
Considering Trump was just on a podcast where they did exactly that with Kamala's husband, yes, they would absolutely attack Shapiro as antisemitic.
Looks like he may not make the cut with all the recent news.
You mean the same guy that equates protesters to antisemites?
You'all didn't read the article didja?
Honestly if the DNC just wants to name it's pick as "whoever will trigger the Republicans the most", I'm kinda here for it.
I think they'd be pressing their luck with Buttigieg tho. I think Kelly is the safest choice.
I think Buttigieg is 20x more likeable than Kelly. Tim Walz is my pick.
The rollout has been masterful. I was a severe doubter due to her 2020 campaign, but I’m entirely on board now. I’m almost allowing myself the slightest bit of hope, which I haven’t really had since two days before the 2016 election.
