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!

In the end it is about messaging. Always was but now more than ever with social media most people are voting on vibes. In New York they used it masterfully, laser focused on simple economic messaging without getting lost in the weeds. Kamala did the opposite, confused voters with wishy-washy messaging. People wanted change and she offered more Biden, if she had any kind of coherent message.
The election was stolen from her, so criticizing her performance feels disingenuous.
You think she ran a good campaign? It's still partly Biden's fault for not getting out sooner. Both of those things are on those two individuals.
Im not saying she ran a good campaign, but i do believe she won. There is too much evidence of cheating. Trump and Musk both publicly said they cheated, and the biggest smoking gun of all, is the fact that Trump "won" all the swings state by just enough margin to not trigger a recount. No president in histoey has ever been so popular to clinch all the swing states. Thats just too much fuckery.
Could Harris have run a better campaign? Absolutely. Does she deserve critisism for losing to Trump who cheated? Absokutely not.
Is had never occurred before, at least in an election without a true landslide candidate, that one side won every flipped county. Normally some counties always change in both directions, but in 2024 it was the first time ever in a close election that every single county that flipped went to the republicans, while the dems flipped zero. Mathematically that is beyond extremely unlikely to occur in any close election, as there are well over 3,000 counties and similar statistical areas. Yet allegedly it did in 2024
