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.

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!

She lost to a carnival barker
This is First Past The Post in action. 2/3 of respondents selected someone other than her, yet she "wins" this poll.
Drop the bottom 1/3rd of the candidates, and revote. Repeat a couple times. This soon after the election, Harris's support is as high as it's going to get. Reduce the number of spoilers, and her numbers have nowhere to go but down.
It's funny how libs think republicans are the only stupid "party".
You got that backward. Republicans have stupid constituents, and the democrats have a stupid party. Republicans have been playing the long game and reaping the rewards of decades worth of planning and posturing. Democrats can't agree on a vision. The democrats strength is also their biggest problem. They're a big tent party that's inclusive to all and all ideas. In practice, that means they lack a single vision to fight for and never long-term plan. If they quit focusing on the fringe and instead focused on the class war, they could have that singular, uniting vision.
Its Lucy and the football for Charlie Brown, and we never learn.
we are so fucked.
We need an actual third party.
For that you need a different electoral system. FPTP tends towards dominance by two parties
We need an actual second party.
We have the illusion of choice
Agreed.
Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention. They must not be led astray by the empty phrases of the democrats, who will maintain that the workers’ candidates will split the democratic party and offer the forces of reaction the chance of victory. All such talk means, in the final analysis, that the proletariat is to be swindled. The progress which the proletarian party will make by operating independently in this way is infinitely more important than the disadvantages resulting from the presence of a few reactionaries in the representative body.

Only if she plays the role of Taft in 1912.
You really think there will be elections in 2028...
Yeah, Putin continues to win elections in his country by a landslide. We'll have those.
The Democratic Party’s sole strategy looks like maximizing their big donor and independent votes. So they keep moving toward center-right.
- That strategy has failed 2/3 last times so may be try changing it Sherlock.
- The big donors don’t care about anything besides their own personal gain. The only difference is that “Democratic” big donors also pretend they care about the people. May be get on the ground and talk to your constituents instead.
- Even if you get the independent votes, your main base is completely alienated and does not trust you. So all you will get are the independent votes losing you the election.
This Democratic Party is like the monsters in Scooby Doo - the villain wearing the mask of the common person so they can get closer to you before stabbing in the back.
I became an independent in part to get democrats to actually care about me. They don’t give a fuck what I think if I’m a member because they just assume I’m voting for them.
Surely they must mean "Favorite candidate to run away from"....
(I'm kidding, though. I liked Harris as a candidate, but not having a real primary did the Democrats no favors. I blame Biden for not dealing realistically with his aging more than Harris.)
Goddammitsomuch
People need to upvote this for visibility, not disagreement. Seems like most of us agree, fuck no.
People need to see what BS is coming.
But then again I'm just assuming that's how lemmy works and if we downvote it will get lost.
I'm sure leftists and 3rd party voters will be blamed again when she loses, again.
Oh my fuck. God no. Stop. Please stop. What the actual fuck.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I’m not voting democrat again, so they can run her without me.
