Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

He's not allowed to but people are saying Michelle could be the pick, but that would only be marginally better than Kamala
They need Gretchen, Pete, or Kelly
Jon Stewart. Someone go pull him and make him do it. There's no one better to take down Trump.
He'd be miserable the whole time, but we'd all be better off. Please Jon!
I mean I'd love it and I'm going back and forth on this comment. His biggest negative is those who lean right will see him exactly as he is "a New York Jew"
That said, who better to trounce Trump and humiliate his ass? I think the only thing better would be Michelle Obama. Trump would lose his absolute shit debating and/or losing to a woman let alone a black woman.
Watch that fucker drop the N bomb in a debate against her lol
Al Franken
A 2-woman ticket would never work. It's going to be very dicey having a woman leading the ticket with a man as VP, given how sexist the US electorate is.
What's sexist is going on and on about how a woman is unelectable.
Yes, reality is sexist. But, you can't just live in a fantasy land.
A friend of mine was running a restaurant, and before a major business meeting, her 2nd said that he should do all the talking because the other party was sexist and wouldn't listen to a woman.
She fired his ass, rightfully. That is not what progress looks like. Step up and fight against sexism, don't concede to that shit.
A complex vote involving an electoral college and an opposing candidate who is an open fascist isn't quite the same situation as running a restaurant.
You're right. Women deal with sexism in many facets of life. You are the example, not the exception.
Example of what?
Sexism manifest.
Pointing out that the electorate is sexist is sexist. Gotcha.
"The electorate" was racist when Obama ran too, and there were racists saying he shouldn't run too.
Yes, and his win sparked the racist backlash that ended with Trump being elected. Remember that Trump's original political role was the "birther" in chief. But, Obama was male, which meant he had to deal with racism, but not sexism. Clinton had to do with sexism but not racism. Harris will have to deal with both racism and sexism.
I suppose a woman of color will just have to wait then.🙄
Let's hope not.
