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!

Yeah I know all that, but see - Harris didn't do anything for the working class.
Yeah bud, defending kamalas refusal to take any stance that would win her the election is really gonna show em. She cared so much about us that after she lost she retracted into obscurity and has refused to speak publicly about anything going on besides demanding Israel's soldiers be released from captivity in the occupied concentration camp they were invading and killing civilians in. Great hill to die on, she's definitely coming back for everyone who stood their ground for her.
Oh for sure, she’s the sole surviving leader of the entire non-MAGA population, which is why your retort is so spot-on and insightful. And like all political leaders, how much they care about us is really the key metric we’re looking for. Someone who may be shit at absorbing information, delegating duties, understanding procedures, and communicating effectively but will send us a winky-smiley face on our birthday is exactly the political leader we should support.
You know like that famous American leftist leader, um, you know the one who was all like . . . I mean I can’t think of them just now but obviously their ability to take these stances that will win them the election are why they’re national news. The groundswell is just unreal. For them. As you no doubt are aware.
That's not true in the slightest. Harris has done tons after she lost. She just announced her new book, 107 Days, that's gonna release this September! She'll be vindicated for her peddling AIPAC propaganda, telling unions she doesn't need them, shilling crypto, giving one last middle finger to NLRB, and...
