          Are you one of those “The US is a Constitutional Republic” people?

          Huh. Just the other day, Trump claimed in a speech that he took a bullet for democracy. I wonder which democracy he was talking about?

              Missed the point. I’m saying conservative “we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic” bullshit is inconsistent.

          Her name was on the ballot in 2020, everyone who voted for Biden also voted for Harris.

          You appear to be conservative, so here is the best online course I could find to teach you about the U.S. Constitution:

          America’s Written Constitution by Yale University on Coursera:

          • Covers themes like popular sovereignty, separation of powers, federalism, and rights.
          • Taught by Professor Akhil Reed Amar.
          • Includes videos, readings, and quizzes.

          Let me know when you’ve completed it and we can have a real big boy conversation ;)

            You should vote for whoever you feel best represents you and your needs.

          She also hasn’t been elected to anything yet? There’s nothing undemocratic about a party choosing who it wants to run in an election internally.

          People are free not to vote for her in the general. It’s looking like this isn’t really an issue though.

          Accusing others of hypocrisy is not a winning move for blatant hypocrites.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

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!
