  • GOP Rep. Tim Burchett calls Kamala Harris a 'DEI vice president'

    Jump

  • I wonder how much of Congress is there on top of white privilege hires from rich mommy and daddy. Not to mention the sausage fest that is the presidency. Yeah, I'm sure that's almost all white men by merit alone. /s

  • 'Is Stephen Miller okay?': Dems gleeful as Trump adviser has 'meltdown' over Biden dropout

    Jump

  • The ideal scenario would’ve been for Biden to keep his word about him being a transitional candidate that would step aside after one term.

    He didn't really promise per se. He said in some interviews that he saw himself as a bridge candidate, but he never made a pledge. I assume he was trying to not make himself a lame duck president right out of the gate, which can make it difficult to pass policies.

  • "I do not endorse the large, comprehensive document that many of my current and former staffers were involved in writing. Now let's get back to defeating Sleepy Joe Biden." - Trump

  • What scientific discovery, which could actually happen in the next 5 years, would have the most impact in our lives in you opinion?

    Jump

  • Pretty much anything that substantially improves batteries will be huge. R & D money is pouring in and that likely means progress. Improvements could be felt in factors like environmental impact, weight, energy density, safety, and charge time.

  • Joe Biden ends election campaign and endorses Kamala Harris to be new nominee

    Jump

  • One is a joke (Williamson), one is a nut (Kennedy), and the other two have thin resumes. None of the prominent players ran. You missed nothing.

  • The executive branch employs electrical engineers, therefore the president is an electrical engineer regardless?

  • Biden drops out of the 2024 presidential race, leaving the Democratic nomination open

    Jump

  • She is pretty closely tracking Biden in match ups against Trump, so it is not clear whether voters are really distinguishing her yet.

  • Though unconstitutional, since the VP needs to be eligible to be president.

  • Elon Musk's X pushes Trump tags on all US users

    Jump

  • If you look at Hillary's broader statements, she has always favored universal single-payer healthcare. She worked her ass off to get a plan passed in 1994, and she was relentlessly attacked for it.

    The last time Democrats got successful movement on healthcare was March 2010 with a filibuster proof Democratic majority in the Senate, a majority in the House, and a popular new president in the White House. Even then, only a relatively tepid compromise bill was passed, with even the "public option" stripped out (thanks Joe Lieberman).

    Will conditions change in the future? Quite possibly, especially as our health care becomes increasingly unaffordable. Maybe it's not so helpful to have senior politicians telling voters something is impossible and potentially affecting the Overton Window. But Hillary's warning, that Bernie Sanders' plan hadn't a chance of getting passed, was a good reality check.

  • Biden supported a 1994 crime bill that is considered racist today.

    Some context is required there, though. The 1994 crime bill did have significant support among Black leaders and activists. It was seen as an imperfect solution to a critical issue that disproportionately affected Black neighborhoods at the time.

  • AOC says many Democrats who want Biden to drop out don't want Harris on the ticket either

    Jump

  • Yeah... I would put a lot more stock in that quote if Kamala Harris' poll numbers among Black women weren't relatively low for a Democrat. I'm sure some people will be upset, but if she is picked I know a lot of people will consider that a slap in the face in another way. Polls have shown for a long time that she's unpopular in a way that has nothing to do with race or gender. It would be handing the election to Trump almost as certainly as running Biden.

    The Media Ignores Trump Falling Asleep At His Own Convention

  • Come on, don't bug the old man. He's just trying to catch a few winks between "old man yells at clouds" rants.

  • Donald Trump calls for Taiwan to ‘pay’ for its own defence

    Jump

  • Hong Kong was always going to happen because that was an agreed upon conclusion. China violated promises that it made (one country, two systems my ass), but Hong Kong was a part China. Taiwan has never been under the control of the current government of mainland China. At this point Taiwan would likely be a separate country if it didn't have China's dagger at its throat telling it that even a breath of declaring independence will result in immediate invasion.

  • No place for political violence in America!!!

    Jump

  • The president is a civilian and other decisions ultimately lie in civilian hands. While it's common for presidents to have some level of service in some form of armed forces, it's usually low ranking. There are some notable exceptions: Washington, Eisenhower, and Grant. So yes, killing them is political violence. But targeting leaders in the armed forces is not.

    And yes, Iran fought ISIS, a lot of players held common cause against ISIS. Cool. Doesn't excuse what they've done elsewhere.

  • Criticize it if you want, but the Soleimani assassination wasn't political violence. He was a top ranking military leader who arranged terrorist operations that killed a lot of people.
