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!

I'd be all for a "Department of Science and Technology" which would be about safeguarding citizen's rights in the digital era, ensuring ethical tech practices, helps businesses and the government stay up to date with NIST standards, and making a national transistor backup in case we have a solar wind/flair hit us like the 1800s one that set electrical grids on fire.
It was one of the few things from Andrew Yang's "run" for the Democratic Nomination that I was interested in and wondering if someone would pick up on it. (Now I know he's a fucking centrist nobody)
We're literally watching the Democrat party continue to push right.
Yeah, bad answer, but this close to the election she can't say anything too decisive for fear of alienating undecideds.
It might not be so bad, depending on the actual choice (and that assumes that this actually happens rather than being walked back).
But for example I imagine a lot of Dems would be okay with Liz Cheney being a cabinet member.
Unless you're a centrist or a republican. Or Netanyahu.
And more similar to Obama...
Republican Ray LaHood served as secretary of transportation from 2009 to 2013 under President Barack Obama.
In fact, it was Biden who once considered going even further (though obviously this did not happen in the end), https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/02/opinion/joe-biden-2020-republicans.html
If he had went thru with that, this year's election would be ... interesting.
During Kamala Harris’s Tuesday appearance on The View, the vice president was asked what her biggest difference with President Joe Biden is—and she gave a surprising answer: She plans to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet.
Harris initially said that “not a thing comes to mind” that she would have done anything differently than Biden. But then she went on to elaborate.
“Listen, I plan on having a Republican in my Cabinet,” Harris elaborated. “You ask me what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me, well that will be one of the differences.”

What is everyone having for breakfast today? I'm thinking about having a toasted bagel wth peanut butter.
Troll-bait headline means we don't need to read the article to know that it's a bunch of bullshit.

You need to read the article to stay informed. The only bullshit here is Kamala.
