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!

Hey now we can get someone even less progressive than Biden, who will be just as bad on genocide as Biden (so will do nothing to make things better for all those single-issue voters who also somehow thought Trump would be better on genocide) and will soft pedal us to the right instead of the rocket propelled sprint to fascism that Trump would bring.
Feels like a bit of a lateral move to me.
Joe is an extremist when it comes to Israel, even for a right-wing democrat. He literally went around Obama to make promises to Netanyahu during their term. If we get someone without dementia and who is less enthusiastic about killing palestinian children that's still a net benefit.
Harris is best to mitigate legal challenges.
And essentially a cop.
She was a prosecutor, not a cop. But in this context it doesn't really matter, there isn't going to be a progressive option.
I said essentially. :)

I know, and we'll be even further from one than we would have been under Biden.
What do you people not understand about this? Biden is a certain loss to trump and your genocide gets far worse. Ffs.
You do realize the Dems booted Biden because he wasn't polling well in any of those categories, right?
In July of 2024. I really really really think that needs to be at the end of every sentence.
