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!

Latinos want to be white so bad. They'll jump down the throat of someone saying you're bad for voting for someone that thinks your garbage.

When she wants the favor of Republicans, she can differ from the president.

When progressives are upset about Gaza, they can pound sand because she totally can't differ from the president because reasons.

Political views aren't immutable characteristics and I literally cannot think of a better metric by which to judge people.

Brandon was right tho.

It would be nice to live in a world where everyone called out the obvious corruption and treason of the Repub party, and by extension, its voters (who are garbage).

I strongly disagree with Kamala Harris strongly disagreeing about this

I don't call them garbage. I call them traitors. That's who the MAGA crowd is. A bunch of treacherous traitors.

Our founding fathers would've worked overtime, rallying and rounding up millions of these traitors to be drawn and quartered. Because, aligning with an obvious dictator wannabe isn't bad enough, it's the fact that they're aligned with the values of a newfound Axis Party between Russia, North Korea and America (under Trump).

So, they're traitors.

I'm fine if she plays softball on this. We on the other hand can call these fucks exactly what they are.

The deplorables comment was one of the nails in Hillary's coffin. We can say these things, Harris can't

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

lol, Hillary was cooked the moment she stepped in the ring. "Deplorables" was just a weirdly ivory-tower insult. She'd have gained more political ground calling them shitbags.

There's one word I keep coming back to: indefensible. I don't see how anyone could listen to Trump speak, see the effects of his policies, and understand his goals, and still think, "Yeah, that guy should be president."

Senile
Felon
Liar
Rapist
Bigot
Kleptocrat
Insurrectionist
Fascist
Misogynist
Narcissist
Nepotist
Ignorant

and those are just the things he's admitted to out loud in front of a camera. Any one of those would immediately disqualify any other candidate, and there isn't any argument to be made that he isn't all of those things. Denial is a helluva drug, but to deny all of those things? The only conclusion is that his supporters share his "values" and that makes them as deplorable as he is.

Nah, Brandon’s right. Repubs are garbage.
