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!

The fact that Republican leaders have to even "urge party members to avoid racist and sexist attacks against Harris" in the first place should tell you all you need to know about how deep the bigotry is embedded in the Republican party.
Notice how Democrats don't have to, for example, tell their party members not to use racial slurs when campaigning against Tim Scott.
Younger Democrats do seem to have a thing about "old white" guys that i don't think comes off very well to the larger public.
Just the ones trying to take away their rights and destroy their futures.
Unfortunately that's a much larger demographic than "old white men"
Aww, that's too bad!
Oh well
wait what's wrong with saying old white guys are terrible
Because it's literally racist and sexist. You need a healthy dose of objectivity in your life.
someone's a cranky old white man. wonder why everyone hates you, maybe you should dig into those deep pockets of yours and use some of that objectivity you're so fond of
If you had some objectivity you wouldn't have made yourself look silly jumping to wildly inaccurate conclusions about who you're talking to just because they suggested you be a little less racist and sexist towards people.
