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!

If there is one person's advice on beating Trump we should definitely not consider...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

Hey Hillary, most people don't dislike you because you're a woman. We dislike you for trying your best to rig a primary and then getting fucking Donald Trump elected.

I was going to say who asked her...

But apparently she wrote the opinion piece herself?

Since Biden supporters kept saying NYT are conservatives for not supporting Biden, did we really wind up in a broken clock situation where they acknowledge Hillary is rightwing?

Or have they immediately moved past that since Joe isn't on the ballot anymore?

Nothing says the shining light of democracy for the downtrodden like speaking for bankers at 250k a pop!

I don't want to hear a single thing from either of these nightmares. The party would do well to divest entirely.

It's no secret that the American electorate is right-of-center in the grand scale of things. We just don't give a fuck since we know we're dealing with the realities of our own country and voters. Regular, American, voters. Not all the most deep-thinking folks all the time, you understand. So the accusation of mainstream dems as right is academic and largely pointless, when American culture itself is right leaning. We're a country that loves John Wick movies.

Regarding the Times, rumor is the beef with Biden was personal. So now that he's off the ballot they're back to normal.

I want Kamala Harris to win for nothing else but the fact that it would kill Hillary Clinton inside to not be the first woman president.

[–] givesomefucks 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hillary is like trump. Nothing is ever their fault, and if anyone else achieves something, they still deserve the credit.

If Kamala beats trump, it would delight Hillary. She'll take a victory lap so long it'll still be happening during next election.

Because in her mind Kamal could only win because Hillary "paved the way" or some dumb shit. And shed 100% believe her own bullshit just like trump does.

I really hope your wrong but I know you speak only truths. You are a truly wise individual

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I also think RBG would be uncomfortable that the first woman president is a woman of color so thats a bonus.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

If I never hear another word of political commentary from Hillary for the rest of her natural life, it’ll be too soon.

Campaign and win in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Hold Virginia, Minnesota, and New Mexico.

[–] Sweetpeaches69 3 points 4 months ago

We're super blue in New Mexico, so no need to worry about us. Although, I would definitely go to a Harris campaign event.

And if she loses any one blue state, Trump wins.

[–] return2ozma 2 points 4 months ago

Well, shit.

[–] Rapidcreek -3 points 4 months ago

I hope that if/when Harris wins, she mentions Clinton, Shirley Chisholm and all the women fought like hell for her to get to this moment in her acceptance speech.
