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!

You want biden to run with the woman who would not admit slavery was the cause of the the civil war until it became a national issue? Someone who is either racist or pandering to racists? That's the person you want first in line to the presidency?
And Cheney voted with the Trump admin 94% of the time. Having basic integrity doesnt mean she would support any democratic policies as president.
Both would be terrible running mates, and equally terrible presidents.
No, she's terrible. But I don't want to sweat bullets again in November wondering if trump might win, and I want the end of the 2 parties. I don't see the republican pay dissolving into oblivion. What's your solution? The status quo?
Edit: and I'd take her over trump.
So you want to elevate someone terrible into the Whitehouse in the off chance that it might help prevent someone terrible from being in the Whitehouse?
Yes!
Edit: it might actually shut up the far right and she seems more amenable to discussions.
Shut up the far right? By elevating someone they hate? The people that gin up grievances about red coffee cups and holiday greetings?
You can't shut up people whose whole purpose is to be mad and loud.
