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!

Why the fuck is Kamala bringing her to events?

In August 2023, three former backup dancers filed a lawsuit against Lizzo, her production company, and her dance captain Shirlene Quigley, accusing them of sexual, religious, and racial harassment, disability discrimination, assault, false imprisonment, creating a hostile work environment, and weight-shaming.[135][136][137] Following the allegations, a former creative director for Lizzo and another former backup dancer showed support for the three claimants, saying they both had similar experiences working with Lizzo.[138]

Filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison released a statement supporting the dancers. The director traveled with Lizzo in 2019 for her documentary but dropped out of the project. Allison wrote, "I witnessed how arrogant, self-centered, and unkind she is... reading these reports made me realize how dangerous of a situation it was."[139]

Because shes hip with the yutes, as the kids say. In seriousness, Harris' campaign is being run by mostly the same people from Clinton's campaign. If Republicans put up, present or past tense, any other candidate, Harris would lose. It wouldn't be a close race.

But since Trump killed off enough off his voters and seems to want to just end the campaign already, these ridiculous antics will be rewarded and.common place for the next few elections.

The youts turned on her when the allegations about how terrible she treated her dancers came out. Her tiktoks recieved tens of millions of likes before the allegations. Then she disappeared from the app

I think they meant the people running this campaign are the ones that ran the last two, and they're comically inept...

So why "the youts" are over Lizzo, the people running Kamala's campaign have zero idea.

Did you say yutes?

Trump also appeals to a lot centrists because he gives off "strong man" vibes and attacks people they are uncomfortable with without appearing radical. That's why they're going so hard on "trans" right now.

Also, people seriously forget about shit from 4 years ago. Any Dem would be facing the same problem.
