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!

She seems to be doing fine, but she needs to watch out for acting giddy like she gets.
She can really act drunk sometimes.
If you think expressing any emotion other than bigoted hate and manufactured outrage = “drunk”, then you’ve been watching too much Fox News. Of course, it’s no surprise that the MAGA crowd just assumes that anytime a woman laughs, she must be drunk.
Keep it classy
Come on man, do we always have to do the blanket denial? I'm voting for her, but she acts goofy as shit sometimes, not just "laughs a lot" or a woman laugh.
Lighten up, we can talk about things here, we're among friends. Not everything is off limits.
Maybe someone that expresses a little authentic human joy is exactly what the American public needs right now.
And exactly the sort of thing that terrifies sociopaths. That’s why they’re freaking out about it. They so rarely experience joy that they think there’s something wrong with it.
The explosion of support she's getting says you're correct.
She's absolutely killing it, and I think her energy and positivity are a huge part of why.
I was planning on giving an unenthused Biden vote just as a "please not Trump" vote. I'm now planning on an excited and hopeful vote for Kamala!
She represents a much, MUCH needed turn away from the dumpster fire we've let our political system become.
How dare a leader be human. I only vote for robots!
You think it's "goofy as shit", I think it's honest and refreshing. It's nice to see a politician (especially a woman) who can let out a belly-laugh once in awhile.
I didn’t deny anything, and you’re not my friend.
Nice try at deflection, tho, lol
Well you're still my friend. Let me know if you need to talk about anything, or have a bad day. I'd be happy to just listen.
You don’t really understand the word “no” do you or when people just aren’t that into you?
Creepy
God forbid a politician enjoy life and laugh. I like how human she acts. It's nice seeing a politician who knows how to enjoy herself
Women just can't win huh. If they police their emotions and try to be neutral, they come across as bitchy and unlikeable like Clinton.
If they're genuine and open about how they feel, they're giddy and acting like they're drunk.
Ahhh yes, giddiness--the downfall of many great societies
Remember when Howard Dean "yeeahhhharrrrgfh" ed? In excitement.
Glad we avoided that.
Remember when trump said "bing ding ding ding boom psheen pfoom"? To explain missile tech.
Yeah, somehow Trump gets a pass. We can't expect that.
Trump gets a pass because his voters don't care. Harris's voters shouldn't care, either.
Caring about dumb shit like that is part of the reason why Democrats have been losing elections.
Unlike every fine upstanding male gentleman politician!
I think that actually works in her favor. She's got a good energy, and it's contagious.
