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!

It is important that Kamala Harris continues to define and expose Trump. But it may not be enough to secure a victory

These are valuable policies. I believe, however, that her chances of winning improve if she expands that agenda to include popular solutions to the most important economic and political realities facing this country.

The American people want change, and that’s what she must deliver.

Here are just a few ideas that are not only excellent policy, but are extremely popular among voters across the political spectrum:

Not gonna copy all his suggestions but click the link and find out.

I've been saying the same thing for a while now though.

Everyone knows what trump would mean. It doesn't need to be the only thing Kamala talks about

We all know she's not trump, she needs to start giving voters substantial policy that voters want and the country desperately needs.

But her corporate donors might get upset!!! /s

Better to let the media have the horse race it wants and cater to the non-existent "center." /s

The Democrats have learned fuck-all in 30 fucking years except who butters their bread.

Newt Gingrich was cheating on his wife with cancer while pushing investigations into Clinton for a blowjob (because all their other investigations turned up fuck-all so they had to try to catch him in a lie so they could say "see, he'll lie on the stand, you can't trust his word."). The fact that they've spent 30 years "reaching across the aisle" and learning nothing says everything.

I think America has been in a deep moral crisis since it's inception; should we be evil, or just a little evil. It's easy to get people to agree to just a wee bit of more evil and here we are 200 years later with the magic of compound interest.

[–] usrtrv@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Definitely less evil, towards Americans. But they've made vast strides in outsourcing evil through globalization and the military industrial complex.
