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!

did you watch the debate? Her response to abortion was crystal clear. Suggesting it doesn't affect people is insane.
And your framing is exactly what JD Vance attempted, basically: I didn't see a plan from Harris and plans don't put food on the table. Which is onion-esque levels of trying to have it both ways.
I understand the problem with her capitulating to the (lets not call it the republican framing as the whole media has done little to challenge it) media framing on gaza and immigration. Its discredits democrats that they don't challenge the framing at all and at least bring up DACA.
What a Harris win would buy us is time to reframe these narratives and attempt solutions and could possibly push the court closer to an overturn of citizens united. No single election is going to solve the myriad problems we face.
Its also clear Trump, if he wins, will run the country as a figurehead for fascism while his remaining advisors run things - most involved in heritage foundation's project 2025 - which will at best face resistance, and at worst reshape america into more of a pay to play hellhole than it already is, while putting a number of minority groups in a vice
