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.

Just like when Noem released her book, you'll see headlines just enough to push sales.
ok great. now do american president
She lost to Trump. She should consider never running for anything ever again. That should be career-ending.
How does one lose to Hitler
Traditionally?
Election fraud and the reality that enough of country supports fascism to make it believable
taking the fall in a fixed match is not the same as outright losing
It should have been such a blowout that rigging would be impossible. A real leftist candidate could easilly beat out a 3 million voter deficit. Just look at Mamdani's win in NYC, and he's just a social democrat.
Given the circumstances- she was the best candidate. She did a stellar job cleaning up a campaign that was mired and bogged down in a flaming rubbish pile.
And yes it does seem like there was hellalotta cheating going on.
Ultimately she had 90 days or so to go against a douche who’s been campaigning and retconning his image for the four years prior.
The loss is not her fault. I place that entirely at Biden fucking shit up and holding on far too long.
All of that said- she absolutely shouldn’t be the ‘28 candidate. I’m pissed that she conceded before it was even official, and when there was clearly some question. They didn’t even look into it. (Smoke doesn’t always mean fire, but you’re an idiot if you don’t check.)
Then she disappeared as the US turned to shit and comes out with a book deal?!
Sorry. Nope. I respect what she did, but that doesn’t mean she’s the best option next time.
Without a primary and any opponents, how did you determine she was the best candidate? If you're referring to her being the VP, it was widely reported the Biden cabinet was upset with her handling of the interview on the border crisis. After that they gave her the cold shoulder and barely handed her any meaningful projects. She was not prepared because she refused to listen to her aides and then afterwards blamed them for not properly prepping her.
She was as much of a disappointment as Biden was. Would have been a better move to break clean from both of them.
By the time that Biden stepped down, there was no time for a primary. (And let’s be honest, that farce ran before wasn’t a true primary.)
She was the only person that could, at the time, get everyone into lockstep with her. She was also competent, experienced and skilled.
Aside from Israel/Palestine, her political positions weren’t particularly offensive either. (She should have thrown Biden under that bus, but I get why she didn’t. Hell. Biden should have dove under for her.)
I would have much preferred another; though they would never have manage as well as Harris did… particularly as Biden gave grudging support for her.
In the context of that moment in time, she was the only person with a chance at beating Trump, and that’s what made her “best”.
She was also competent
Did you not read the portion in my post where I said she was deemed incompetent by Biden (and many others)?
Does this speak "competence"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXCN0xYJDuo
