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!

LOL if a brand new candidate starts beating you within like 2 days, you might be a loser

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 79 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The biggest loser. Nobody loses like Donald Trump.

The best people. With the best words.

[–] bquintb@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

tremendous words like you've never heard before

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It shouldn't be too surprising to see due to the sudden hype and attention around the new candidate. She does seem to be picking up young voters, however.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

just wait until taylor swift endorses her...

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I saw some footage that shows she leans left politically and has wanted to speak out, but I'm sure every advisor she has would tell her it's a bad idea. That would put Taylor in the crosshairs of the Trump hate machine and would definitely cost her money and possibly put her fans at risk. If she has the temerity to endorse Harris despite all that, I would respect the hell out of that.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What "footage"?

She endorsed Biden in 2020, so I doubt she cares about any fans being lost. She probably just cares less than we do, and is waiting to do it later. Like Obama.

She literally made a song about how Trump is a whiny bitch. She's pretty openly left-leaning.

You Need to Calm Down

Could be. It was some kind of behind the scenes footage with her dad or parents. I wish I could remember more context.

It was something to do with how she was recording music during Covid.

lol dude they’re already after her. Also, do not underestimate swifties. They are a DEDICATED fan base.

And way too old. He should step down.

Many such cases

[–] Organichedgehog@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Let's not live in a bubble. Most polls still show trump winning.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 months ago

no polls from here on out should change what should be everyone's plan to get everyone out to vote

i'll be plastering the joint with voter reg forms and volunteering at the precinct on election day
