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!

She still has one policy she needs to correct.
Maybe if she can get into the position where she can do something.
I put up a comment about it yesterday, but I'm predicting Oct 12- 16th for a pivot.
Specifically, these debates mostly nothing At this point, if you were going for Trump, there is no debate performance that is going to change that. Likewise for Harris voters. As well, we're just about past the point where voter registration is going to change anything. Just about the last 2 weeks of September and the state which matter won't be accepting new registrations.
So it's down to people that are likely voters who are still withholding for some policy positions.
State Attorney General? Senator? Vice President?
None of those are able to affect any change to foreign policy. That is the president's job alone.
She was literally on the Subcommittee for Border Security. Jesus, you fucking people.
Yep. And they had hammered out a deal on the border led by one of the most conservative Republicans in the Senate until Trump had it killed.
Even then, the decision comes down to the president who has veto power to decide whether the bill becomes law or not.
Congress can, and periodically does, override presidential vetoes. If you've got the most conservative Republicans in the Senate on board, it sounds like an override is in the cards.
Past that, vetoes don't create policy.
Realistically she's got quite a few of those, but when given a bad but not fundamentally different from what one had before option, and a make everything far worse option, and a situation that makes trying to choose a third option an exercise in futility, the choice is a no-brainer.
it's probably around 1.5% of the vote she's leaving on the table?
Not an unsurmountable number, but easily closer than you would want to do in any kind of competitive election.
Unforced error. At the end of the day, AIPAC doesn't vote.
Favorite ice cream?
Nirvana fallacy 😴
Never mind?
I may very well be stupid, but I'm pretty certain I'm not contagious at the moment.
I mean, you might be engaging in that.
But it wasn't people saying that you needed to vote for Biden or else, that saved Democrats from themselves this election.
