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!

I, too, was hoping for a more progressive candidate to replace Biden that would excite the base more. At this point we've got little to do but hope and throw as much support as we can behind her.
Only if you think Kamala values her unpopular policy positions more than she wants to be at trump.
I'm voting for her, but she'll get more votes moving to the left, and I really really want to beat trump, so I'm going to keep making noise till the election.
Then I'm going to keep making noise, hoping she listens, because this shit doesn't just end after the election, or after she takes office.
If she keeps moving to the right we'll lose ground in the House and Senate, meaning she can't fix shit.
And four years later we'll be in the same spot, and her and the DNC will claim the only choice is being more conservative again.
So while I understand the frustration, this is bullshit:
You want to help Kamala beat trump?
Do anything you can think of that has the slimiest chance of pulling her left. As a bonus it'll help everyone living in America, and lots of people outside of it too
I think Harris values beating the other guy and saving democracy more than all else at this point, and this is the reason why her positions have swung so rightward.
It's to the point that not only the rightie Liz Cheney, but even Dick Cheney, is able to vote for and endorse Harris.
Me too.
Citation needed. And considering what's at stake, you better be able to provide strong evidence of this. (I've previously explained why we need moderate Republican votes to win and the reasons suck but we're not in a position to change it prior to this election.)
Same here. I'll keep explaining why we need to join with moderate never trumpers to win this election.
