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.

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.

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.

Her and the team need to go hard and fast. She's not charisma 101, though she has some. Her real strength is her ability to disseminate and spread information as someone whose career was to become an expert on any information presented, when used alongside existing resources. What does this mean?
She will continue to tarnish Trump's image in the eyes of all the doubtful while increasing her own standing across the board with the exception of the staunch Republican and MAGA supporters. This means hop in the truck and proceed at ramming speed. Every single historically idiotic thing Trump has said. Every piece of racism his team puts out. All the sexism and all the calls to violence against certain groups. Call them out. We can all agree that bipartisanship was the game for a long time, back when the Republicans still had some spine and integrity left here and there. What the Nation needs right now is exactly what she can almost uniquely bring, and we are seeing what I suspect is just the beginning of this little war.
Case in point, I had rarely heard of any of the good things Biden did during his presidency, even though he's had some good policies. It really felt like radio silence from him except when Trump was involved. It was so frustrating that our country's in decline and it just felt like getting stonewalled by the guy supposed to fix it.
Meanwhile it feels like Kamala's actually trying. I'm hearing good things about her left and right. She's only mentioning Trump when it's a direct attack to pressure him for all his evil actions.
Image is everything. Charisma bolsters and protects image. The shitty thing is that Biden has done a TON. Yet so many people aren't aware he has done much at all. This isn't some humblebrag situation, he needed to speak out loudly about those accomplishments.
I wouldn't be so sure about making an exception. But I'm not american, just someone in country 4 km across Pacific Pond.
