Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Summary

Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.

Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.

Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.

She seems to have lost worse than Hillary...

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 5 hours ago

The DNC will continue to lose HARDER!! Until the morale improves

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 19 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

She was not only a women, she's a black women.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 18 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah ignore the fact that she stepped hard to the right and supported a genocide

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Think of all the Dick Cheney supporters who voted for Kamala.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Dick Cheney probably has more followers on his only fans than voters he brought to the table.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Could be true if he actually brought positive numbers I don’t think onlyfans has negative numbers but I have also not spent any money there 👀

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have also not spent any money there 👀

Sounds like something a subscriber to Dick Cheney's only fans would say.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Dick Cheney is an obvious dominatrix character from a Quentin terrantino movie

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I think that characters name is actually "Dick Chainey"

Common mistake.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 17 hours ago

Both candidates supports Israel's genocide. If people didn't bother to vote because of that then fuck them all. I hope they enjoy Trump.

She did better than Biden. For some voters, maybe it was about that, but mostly she was campaigning on "more of the same" in a country that desperately wants change.

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

She objectively did not.

66 mil votes < 81 mil votes.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I stand corrected, she did better than Biden would have in this election.

[–] Moneo@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

A wet towel would have performed better than Biden.
