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!

It would be the most Democratic Party move ever to push Joe out and announce Hillary again.

It’ll never happen. It’s such an idiotic thought as to make me wonder what the hell your motivations are.

[–] surfrock66 32 points 3 months ago (37 children)

If it wasn't clear I don't want it to happen...but over the years I have felt pretty disenfranchised by the actions of the party vs the will of the voters, and I am still going to vote for them.

Last time we didn't vote for Hillary we ended up with a fascist Supreme Court. I'll hold my judgment.

There needs to be some sort of mini primary, not a Harris coronation. having said that, the chances of the DNC managing to organize something like that and not fuck it up are minimal.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 8 points 3 months ago

I agree but flip side we cause a bunch of infighting and lose steam. I'll take either honestly.

[–] Etterra 5 points 3 months ago

Agreed. I mean look at how they fucked up 2016. They were going to shove Hillary down our throats no matter what. Thanks for that by the way, DNC. Really worked out for us.

Do a mini primary. I personally don't think Harris is a best fit. I mean I'm going to vote for whatever nitwit they put into the slot, because fuck Trump with razor wire, but I'd like to at least have a chance to vote for which nitwit we get.

NO TIME. Go with succession.
