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!

democrats and republicans both like the police loving far right candidates
with all the things the US is facing not sure a prosecutor is who the country needs
Still better than trump. Though if it was her, having Bernie or AoC as VP pick would make me much more motivated to actually vote for her and not just not trump.
Likely DNC response: "ha, right... well look, we eased up on the Biden or Bust thing, you can't ask us to also not pair her with a fully corporate and fully neoliberal running mate. You must understand that we just lost hundreds of millions of dollars of donations in only a few weeks of determinedly thumbing our noses at our constituents, and we're not going to make up that kind of shortfall in five dollar donations, we're still courting big tech and big oil, thank you very much and get lost."
I'd be kinda worried about pulling AoC from her district seat though, is that district a solid blue or will it flip if she vacates the seat to be a VP?
Bernie though I highly doubt his seat would flip
It's incredibly blue. The primary is the race.
You’re not supposed to be shitting on Kamala until she gets chosen
If you start preemptively criticizing her now, it might just produce an overall sense of hopelessness and chaos with no way out
Oh… I see.
