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!

Doesn't matter, he might be vp who has no power, isn't that what we kept getting told about Harris?
... The VP can't overrule the president. They also cannot write laws. They do have a lot of things they can do though. Not sure what you think she was supposed to do that she hasn't though, if it was about overruling past legislature, She can't. You have to vote for Congress/senators for such.
That's on purpose... We were taught such in elementary school, middle school, and high school, but so many people seem to not remember anything.
You don't ask a judge to write a law, he's in the wrong branch. Same with a VP.
She can differ from him on the campaign trail. She has chosen not to.
Good, she needs to win the election. Biden Beat Trump last time, trying to differentiate herself too much from him could tank her chances this time.
Let's see what happens once she's in office. Or, I guess we can watch as Trump funnels infinite firepower to Israel so that they can "finish the job". The voters will decide that, so maybe consider what's actually at stake.
Don't see you whining when she moves to Biden's right. Biden didn't promise to appoint a Republican to his cabinet. You're all in on that because it's not the left you hate because the left opposes genocide.
In biden's one and only press conference, he said that Harris agreed with every single policy of the administration and her input was crucial to him supporting anything.
She's also had a chance on the campaign trail to stray from his policies and she has not
Oh my god be more obvious
Obvious about what?
Oh. It's you.
I see. Gotta love user tagging.
