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.

Sage thing that happened in 2016
To fresh, new criticism! If it's not accurate, it's toilet paper.
Of course. And it's glaringly obvious. It ignores the Gaza Genocide as even being a possible influence.
Haven't read or followed the details, too many to blame.
What I will contribute, that to me should have ended her run, was the way she treated a union boss. I saw an interview on TV where a union boss said that when he met with Kamala she told him that they were going to win whether he supported her or not so he better get on board. I never corroborated the story but found no push back from her campaign.
Kamala lost because she didn't have a penis.
If you squint your eyes, you can kinda see how Gaza might have hurt her in Michigan, but if you think that cost her GA, your high on your own supply.
Honestly it's easier to believe that the Pillow Guy stole the election than it is to believe millions of Americans care about genocide in Gaza.
She was Biden 2.0. Only reason Biden won in 2020 was cause people hated Trump, especially how he was handling the pandemic. If Biden was against like a McCain style Conservative he would have lost. When 2024 came and people's lives still weren't getting better and there were no stated plans for how more of him was gonna get us better lives, people went back to just wanting anything else. Didn't help we didn't have a primary. Run a woman who was drastically different from Biden and they'd have a better chance.
Then the Democrats would have no issue polling people on their positions on Israel or Gaza, which would prove that voters didn't think this was a weakness she had.
