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!

So why bother tearing down your preferred candidate? Showcasing a lackluster resume won’t change policy, at most it just turns people off.
To suppress enthusiasm while appearing to be an ally.
What's she supposed to do here? It's just a hit piece.
We should always hold politicians feet to the fire and point out their flaws. Regardless of which side they're on.
lol lol that’s bs. You support your candidate or you support the opposition. I’m winner take all contests, you have to avoid distractions.
What you are talking about can occur specifically during primary elections.
And that's why there are two pieces of shit to choose from, because nobody will ever hold their fucking politicians accountable. As they keep getting rewarded for bad behavior they keep getting worse.
Politicians work for the people. We're their boss. They don't just get a pass because.
K but it sure sounds like you want Trump.
I'm not a Dem or GOP. I'm registered No Party Preference and I'm far left. If you're a Dem, you're closer on the political spectrum to Trump than I.
Oh another Tulsi Gabbard ‘leftist’.
Nah, Tulsi is a grifter piece of shit. She's very anti-war but is she sincere about it? Doesn't seem like it anymore.
