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!

About 2 or 3 weeks ago I would have thought that kind of talk is way too optimistic. Now that Biden stepped aside, Kamala stepped up, and most people rallied around her, and you add in Walz now...well, damn, I'm trying to think of a time where I've ever been this optimistic about the Democrats.
And I'm one of the people that was lukewarm about Kamala (at best). I'm going to vote like my life depends on it even though I'm not in a swing state, but still...
2008 was fucking electric. This isn’t quite that level, but I’m excited. Kamala’s performance has that same Obama competence and organization.
The votes in non-swing states still contribute to overwhelming support and popularity, which we'll need when Trump's cronies try to undermine the election.
You're not as pivotal as a Georgian, but you're still very valuable. <3
It is truly awful that people in certain states, and definitely in remote areas, definitely have their vote count more so than in others. It's definitely ironic given that California is so key to our country, and yet....the people there are treated, electorally, like second-class citizens.
It is, yeah. The electoral college isn't specifically what I was referring to, but yeah, it would be nice if something like the Interstate Compact could get enough traction to do what it needs to.
