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!

Believe it or not, I wasn't born in the past 9 years. I heard it too.
uh huh... that changes absolutely nothing about my comment.
Okay what exactly do you propose we "give her a chance" about? Retaining power? Seeking MORE power?
Do you genuinely believe with all that's at stake, we should allow a snake who was openly a snake from the start and been one of the major liars and deceitful MAGA celebrities since the first Trump term, actually keep all she has taken?
Or by "give her a chance" are you saying: "We should not attack her or call her a liar so that we encourage more people to shift over, even performatively"?
Because fuck that from the top all the way to the bottom as well. Allowing masked-conservatives and GOP-aligned sellouts to be our representatives is how we ended up with a completely useless democratic party, we don't WANT them to switch over, we want them to have NO HOME, we need to make actual political and social consequence for aligning with fascists and radicals and domestic terrorists.
She's historically been pretty terrible. I don't fault you for thinking that of her. I think it too... however, there's like a 1% chance she might be genuine. I won't write her off completely yet. I still don't like her platform, but I'd prefer someone on the right that actually wants to come up with a plan for healthcare if they're going to oppose Obamacare. If she says she's going to tone down her bullshit, I say give her a chance to prove it. It doesn't mean you have to forget where she came from.
You still haven't said what it means to "give her a chance" so I am convinced you're not being serious here.
Are you daft?
In the last comment I said give her a chance to prove it, meaning, you really have nothing to lose by watching what she does for a while.
Your language is daft. Words have meaning, so when you prescribe something "giving her a chance" that has meaning, it calls for something but you're dancing around what that something means. And since you STILL are not making even an attempt to clarify that meaning, I will block you and write you off as a child or shill.
Well, ultimately, you don’t really have any choice other than to bitch and cry about her existence (like she does regarding so many others) or you can shut your fucking mouth and deal with it. I could not give a fuck less what you do at this point. Goodbye. Good riddance.
