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!

Are we ready for her? She's been so nonexistent these past 4 years. I think she's detrimental to the ticket tbh. I expected her to be more active in building that public confidence. Instead, all we got was her going to South America and telling them not to come and becoming a meme.
Why the hell would somebody who built her entire early career on persecuting truants build public confidence?
If the alternative wasn't Spray-Tan Hitler, I would never have voted to put her one heart attack from the Oval Office.
I don't understand your comment. It sounds as if persecuting truants is a bad thing...?
Edit: I think truant may have a different meaning in my native language. Truhan means a good-for-nothing, no-shame petty person. Let's see what truant means in English....
Edit 2: Ah, a school no-show. Yup. Different meaning. And yeah, prosecuting them is stupid.
It is when it means forcing young people into overcrowded and failing schools...
Ugh. I don't want to get re-mad over this.
Short version: School is bad for you, bad school doubly so, and she's a proud enforcer of a cruel and broken system.
That's how I like my politics. Working for the people in a way that it feels like the air. You forget it's there, but it's doing its thing.
You do have a point, if they were doing their thing. Each term they seem to become less and less capable of doing anything.
You, my friend, are unfortunately right.
