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!

Not enough question marks in the world for this person's voting record. Obama –> Not Obama (unspecified) –> Trump –> Trump + rioted to overthrow democracy on Trump's behalf –> Harris.
Honestly uninformed people with low critical-thinking skills are very easily swept away with whichever way the winds take them but the article gives clues:
So in this case:
Credit to her doing what most cannot, though. (Speaking from a family who flipped from Republican to Democrat following Bush's first term).
100% She fucked up. All of us have at various times on various things. Maybe not as bad. But the fact she can both acknowledged and regret are two things that shouldn't be so outstanding and rare. But they absolutely are.
This shit was literally 1930's Germany schtick. It's how so many German citizens were radicalized to enable and commit monstrous things. And it's far from over yet.
Because we all know how doing your own research goes. I mean by all means, but a couple Google searches of fear-mongering terms isn't it.
We all know that REAL research requires a Facebook account. /s
Google search, top result, never look at the URL, forever believe what you read. Got it
It's easy to explain. You and I are critical thinkers who do our own research and are not easily swayed. As for her, she herself said that she didn't do any research, but was influenced by her family:
And boy that influence of family can be strong. It was funny because I was talking to my mom one day about — at the time — the possibility of Biden stepping down and I just said, "boy, isn't all this stuff about Biden crazy!?" without even thinking she had a different view and she (fellow Democrat) goes, "Yeah, I can't believe they're trying to force him to step down!" I was like, "Aw shit, hold on... I think you and I disagree on that..." and within 5 minutes she at least had the capacity to understand the points and almost immediately switched in agreement. But it's hard to tell if that's because I made a strong case or if she just blindly trusts me... For Republican families who are even more patriarchal, that shit can be even worse.
