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!

If your master plan is to run Harris, just keep Biden. Harris is less likeable than a corpse and hrc. Selecting her as VP was a huge mistake, but mistakes are apparently the DNC's specialty.
I honestly do not understand the Harris hate? Is it because she was a prosecutor? A woman? Her skin-color? People keep assuring me everyone always hated her, but I legit don't remember that.
The right was hammering on how she "cackles", just like they did with HRC. The left is not enamored of her cop past.
I seem to recall something about how she was pretty crappy or made some bad moves while she was DA, but I can't say for certain 🤷 honestly her VP record seems pretty good. It's a pretty invisible position, but if you look up stuff specifically she's been doing a lot of good.
Why? Is it the woman thing?
She was never anything but a token
She was elected as AG twice and as a senator once. It's not like she was just appointed out of nowhere due to her skin color.
Oh hey, that guy in the other thread was right! Tagging people as "Trumpy" is super helpful!
how do you tag people?
In Sync, you hit the options button on the post, then hit the options button by the name of the user, and there's a "tag" option. I'd assume other apps have a similar flow
oh: sync.
no, thank you
☝️ Ah, the "DEI" angle. 😐
That's racist. Shut the fuck up.
You clearly don't know what a token is
Shut up.
Please give specific examples as to why Harris is “less likable than a corpse”. Is it because she’s a woman? No vague answers.
