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!

Kamala isn't really standing for anything, is trying to be too safe, and I don't think it's going too work to well
[What the fuck are you talking about?] (https://kamalaharris.com/issues)
This is exactly the issue that the post is about
There is not a single policy included in this two paragraph long statement.
It's the most transparent Politician Speak, saying an earful while telling you absolutely nothing.
If you could have bothered to read a few lines more, there's an entire 76-page PDF attached outlining plans and goals.
Now I'm not asking you to read the whole thing, but you're being disingenuous.
How much of it is more fluff like this?
If you'd like to single out the policies you think are meaningful, I'll happily pick through that chapter. But if the first two paragraphs are empty pablum, I'm not wasting my time with the next fifty.
Great idea. Have a good day.
Aren't you a big fan of "theory"?
Exceedingly verbose publications should be right up your alley 🤷
"The introduction isn't an in depth policy explanation."
Fuck off.
And what doesTrump stands for? Let's see. Revenge against anyone who he doesn't like, threatens political opponents with military action, across the board tariffs that will result in retaliation from other countries, more tax cuts for the rich,.... Oh and Lots of fear mongering.
He is dangerous.
I don't think he is going to work too well.
Right but it's not about him. You can't point out how the sociopath with cult of sycophants is a problem cause that is obvious to those of us that care.
To those that don't it's just mud slinging that doesn't answer the fact they don't like her policies.
It won't work to just not be the other, you got to be preferable. I thought this was learned in 2016 but I see a lot this repeating itself.
When someone brings up they don't like Harris' policies it's not enough to shout back the other guy is obviously worse. It doesn't answer the point. And people are not that rational.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people who helped run Hillary's campaign are also helping to run Kamala's. They don't learn lol.
She stands for a lot of things, this exact kind of meaningless bullshit is the fucking problem
