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!

Kamala Harris is getting support from every major Democratic constituency — from progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren to establishment types like Hillary Clinton to moderates like Rep. Josh Gottheimer. There is no real opening for a rival.

She has zero political experience, biggest claim is being attached to Oprah, and several claims of toxic environment which led to her campaign manager leaving. She doesn't have a good poll turnout. Zero chance.

I'm just waiting for Jill Stein and Tulsi Gabbard to quickly switch parties, too.

Also, fuck Joe Manchin.

They call her crystal lady, but she’s more of a “power of positive thinking” lady.

She says she’s never even owned a crystal.

The crazy 'spiritual advisor' that punches cars and abuses staff. No thanks!

Marianne, you got tarred as a nutjob in 2020. That's not going away, no matter how unfair it may be.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I love how up until yesterday, they posted about every poll like it was decree, and today, polls be damned, Oprah's spiritual advisor needs a shot.

Honestly though, I do hope it's an open convention, even though Harris looks like she's got backing from all angles.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, Williamson can try. I don't begrudge her. She's just not gonna win because she's seen as the nutjob and has been since 2020.

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is she not? I remember her being pretty nutty.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Yeah she kinda cray cray.

I’ll be blunt: I don’t want someone who thinks “crystal energy fields” are a thing anywhere near the nuclear football. It was harrowing enough having the orange nutjob in charge of it for 4 years.

"Democratic" candidate

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

This just in... Delusional candidate is... still delusional.

The only candidacy that could be stopped by medication in the correct doses.
