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!

Kamala Harris did everything right

She presented her message of 'vote for me to keep things the same' flawlessly. Unfortunately, people who live paycheck to paycheck don't want things to stay the same.

They're looking forward to wishing they were able to live paycheck to paycheck...

Lord knows you're looking forward to watching people suffer just so you can lecture harder.

Scolding voters into voting for someone who represents no deviation from an untenable status quo has failed, very publicly, twice. It doesn't matter how bad the opponent is. This strategy is shit. Stop using it. Learn, damn you all. Learn.

I voted for Harris.

Me too and I wasn't saying that I'm looking forward to it....I'm saying the economics are going to be horrible and we're going to long to these times back.

Yeah, if Trump pulls the stuff he said he'd pull (Tariffs and mass deportations), then the supply of goods inside the country will fall drastically, resulting in stronger inflation. Which will then result in consumption of anything nonessential to collapse. This will lead to increasing unemployment.

While that is why will likely happen, most voters aren't knowledgeable enough to recognize it. They don't know what tariffs are or how it'll effect us, for example. They trust the media to tell them the truth, which is horribly misguided.

Nope. Her plan was "I am going to lower taxes on the middle class and provide additional help n these specific ways". But she presented that plan in a very flawed way.

That you were not aware of her actual message is partly your fault and partly her fault.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

No, it's her fault.
