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!

between Harris saying she knows what it is like to struggle to telling protesters to shut up she is not becoming who thought she was at the beginning of all this
Harris advertised as some hero of the people when she first announced she was in the race and with her VP pick thought that would really seal the deal for us
but here we go again
You should go on the internet and read what's current, as of the last 24 hours, anyway!
tl;dr:
Pausing her speech on Friday to directly address the protesters, Harris said: “I have been clear: now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done.”
baby steps, she's not prez, yet....
forgot apologize
the Democrats are the Baby Steps Party
ready for adults steps at this point
why should any of us have to wait until our deathbeds to see progress
I've waited almost 70 years, you?
You can put on your adult pants, too!
Be the change you want! Get a meeting with that Israeli genocide guy, then the Hamas genocide dude, invite Daesh/ISIL/ISIS, maybe China, Russia, et al and tell them all to show both cheeks, like Jeebus said!
Because the options are baby steps forward, or giant steps backwards.
She didn't tell them to shut up she told them if they want trump to win just say it, and they were so flabbergasted by her quick witty response to them interrupting her that they shut themselves up.
Removed, civility.
Well, damn. If this is the bar you're setting, might as well ban me now. Post sounded like a bot, so I tried to test it. If that violates the civility rule, then what's even the point of having comments open?
Please read the sidebar, rule 3:
"This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor."
If you think they're a bot, report them, we'll look at it and take care of it.
