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!

My man Han Solo always fights against tyranny.

[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 63 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Nah ford hates solo. Fortunately Jones also hates nazis.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Solo is a flawed character, but that gives him depth. Ford is, iirc, just irked that more people recognize him as Solo than as Jones.

Can someone tell me why celebrities are endorsing Harris now, and not earlier?

[–] AntY@lemmy.world 84 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pod save America talked about this in a recent episode. There’s always a balance in the timing of these things. If you drip feed the endorsements, people might become used to it and not care. If many very famous people do their endorsements close to Election Day, it might motivate voters to actually go and vote. That’s one of the ways that those running the campaign might reason.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

OK that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

[–] suction@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

too bad you can't create a conspiracy theory now, right?

[–] Zomg@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Because a week later youd of already forgot

To add to what the other person said, the biggest enemy of the boring party that wants to make the country better and isn't making up ridiculous claims is apathy. (Not truly just apathy, but also people have lives to lead and it's not like they get the day off, and voting isn't the center of their life)

Mostly just look at the polling numbers after Harris was announced and how they have slowly fallen since then. There may be other reasons of course, but I find it hard to believe that people who supported Harris ever have any less support for her on a topic when comparing her to Trump.
