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!

Oh please. 2024 would not have turned out any differently had either of them put in a candidacy then. For one, neither had the name recognition then that they do now. More importantly, Biden ran. Nobody else was going to win the primary. When Biden finally stepped out, bringing in some new candidate that a lot of people hadn't even heard of would have been even worse. That whole episode in Democratic politics was a shitshow, but none of the blame for it lies with Newsom or Pritzker or any governor.
You have conveniently ignored my question, so I will ask it again:
Putin. It's the only available vote in his state.
P.S. All Demonrats are evil and let's not talk about Republicans.
P.P.S. Is directly using "Demonrats" too revealing?
On the contrary either one would have handily won with even a mild reform ticket. Kamala could have won with a reform ticket as well but she was chosen to not be reform wasn't she? 30% maximum approval the entire term.
I do not know who is hand feeding you your opinions but Jesus Christ dude, here comes the airplane!
What does that have to do with my point? It doesn't. My point went unaddressed by you that is instead trying to lob misplaced personal attacks.
This you?
Go back to ML
Even now you won't admit a mistake. Why would you, you are emulating those very same Democratic Leadership that did not admit a mistake. No, it is everybody else's fault they nominated another shit candidate that can't win and would not do anything with it if they did. Don't let a handful of half wits voting with you here convince you otherwise. You are the problem. Admit you made a mistake so we can fix it!
Please refer to my previous comment.
How about you refer to the fact that the Democrats lost both houses of Congress and the presidency to a party fully intent on putting a permanent fix in on elections and ruling unopposed with the worst people in charge.
