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!

I don't think we need more prosecuters and law and order folks leading the US. For people who need access to their medications to live, we don't need another person not understanding opiates to make life harder and threatening to put the doctors supporting Chronic Pain patients in jail.
We don't need another leader against the poor advocating for more prisons to keep slavery a viable business.
We especially don't need an insider who will follow all the rules of the neocon playback to be pushed on the party like a other Hillary. There are other women available to become president besides the first laser of the 2020 primary. She was the token black woman of Biden's administration, to show minorities that he actually cares about them, instead of them remembering his crime bill and anti-integration stances.
Just like Biden was used to show white people that Obama wasn't a bad type of African American president.
The only thing this may do is maybe lower the Israel issue and weapon sales. The DNC are fine with her because she supports the constant failure of Gun Control, Drug Controls, and keeping the poor poor. She won't push a radical change against business leaders, push for inequality changes for workers, or stop legalized slavery.
I really can't support her. I would have voted for Biden, but now I can't find any reason to vote for any presidential candidate.
It feels like you're lying when you claim you would've voted for Biden. Why would anyone believe you?
I knew what to expect from Biden. Granted I wanted him to hold to his one term promise, which is why I didn't vote for him during the Primary.
VP's don't do much beyond supporting their president, so Kamala as VP wasn't a big deal. Hey taking over, with her previous baggage of pro prison slavery and ignoring police brutality, is less of a slow Biden administration. So far there are rumors that she spends less time in Washington than GWB did as President, and will take plenty of breaks to recharge in LA. A President can't be a part-time job, it ages a person.
Also, why are you saying I'm lying when I was willing to follow the party for Biden? Wasn't that what had been constantly preached to do for months to stop Trump?
Just because I understand the difference between two radically different candidates doesn't mean I'm now some unfaithful actor. Granted everyone is just lines on a screen. This isn't a football game or boxing match, this is choosing someone who will decide the fate of all Americans for four years. Just because the Republicans chose a horrible evil candidate doesn't mean the Democrats can keep stringing along the left with the same carrot hoping we all keep falling for their lies.
Moving toward the right doesn't work when the other side is a cult. So, why should the left side of the party keep following the DNC when they keep moving right? This is the third election where they want everyone to just fall in line, but the DNC isn't a cult, so people should be free to voice opinions on the problems with a Candidate.
I honestly think you’re a troll but I’m a sucker so I’ll bite.
Kamala is far more left leaning than Biden I have no idea what you are talking about. She’s not perfect but she’s definitely better than Biden.
And that’s not even bringing up the fact that the choice is her or someone who openly wants to be a dictator and already attempted a coup.
You claiming you won't vote kinda destroys any of the good faith you seem to intend to portray. It definitely makes you a bad faith actor.
You've spent at least the last month saying you won't vote for Biden. Your little
line is bullshit.
Cool story
Good enough for me. I'm not expecting her to bring in America's golden age or anything.
Free Palestine.
