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!

Oppression and autocracy that she partially enabled by thinking she could phone in her victory. She should just go away. Nobody wants to hear from her anymore.
I don’t think she phoned it in. She ran a campaign that was ineffective against DT because she assumed things like competence and experience mattered.
She couldn't be bothered to go to -- or even send staffers to -- Michigan. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michigan-hillary-clinton-trump-232547 Then repeat basically the same laziness with Pennsylvania and Wisoconson https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/trumps-road-to-victory/507203/ because she assumed the Rust Belt would just vote for her.
She demonstrably phoned it in.
Ah, the misogynistic punching bag that the left and right share. How noble it must feel to attempt to shout her down.
"It was her turn" fucking ruined the Democrats.
If she was a man and had the same attitude, we'd all be shitting on him just the same.
It was her entitlement, not the fact that she's a woman.
Honestly, her gender is one of the few things I actually respect about her.
She's an entrenched neo-lib who thought herself so entitled to the presidency that she got her conference to shut down campaigns that actually had a chance while simultaneously neglecting to consider that the Midwest and rust belt exist and have legitimate grievances with the Democratic party.
Oh no, someone please think about the poor white millionaire's feelings.
I mean, kinda easily proven wrong by how much people love and rally around Harris. It was Clinton's condescending attitude and dearth of actual effort that soured people on her. It felt like she didn't care about the country at all, and just wanted to sit in the big seat.
Contrast to Harris, who expresses, you know, actual care and understanding for what people are going through, and suggests concrete plans even for the little things.
