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!

Kamala is so out of touch it’s outrageous. If you take things at face value and Kamala says “I wouldn’t do anything different from Biden” and you have Trump saying “Biden destroyed the USA” it seems to reason that voting for Kamala means you want more fails.
Of course, things are usually more nuanced than this, but do you think the average American voter is extremely savvy? If anything, the future of the country is determined by quips and sound bites.
Here’s a clue: if you need to hire “influence experts” to figure out how to “outreach” to younger voters, you’re out of touch. For several categories of voter, it seems that they are valued for what they pick in the voting booth instead of any kind of actual consideration.
Trump’s rhetoric and puffery makes some people believe he has their back. Kamala’s pitch seems to boil down to “I’m not that other guy”, which historically doesn’t get you very far.
It was frustrating to watch the election more or less be handed to Donald Trump, because the only segment of society the Democrats seemed to appeal to was the large corporations that hand over large amounts of donation money. The plight of the average citizen was nowhere near the top list of concerns.
Sorry, but your opinion is foolish. If your "average unsavvy American voter" was going to vote against Biden just because Trump said he destroyed America, they weren't going to vote for Kamala no matter what she said.
What's your point? People that don't like Biden don't like Kamala either? I agree.
