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!

republicans hated obama. why does Ramaswamy think any of those racist clowns would vote for him? Why is he even running for a party that despises him because he isn’t white?
Bobby Jindal learned this lesson too. Nikki Haley as well. They're token minorities the GOP tries to trot out when things are getting too white.
Piyush and Nimrata will never learn the lesson. They are true Republicans through and through. And would given an any opportunity, gladly shill for the party and against the interest of people like themselves.
He, like many other minorities, especially Asians unfortunately, think that of they just act a little more white, act a little more of that racist trope of the model minority that they'll be accepted by the racist whites.
Also, he's probably grifting.
I just assume all Republicans are grifting.
They are.
He's probably running for a cabinet position.
Worked for Buttigeg, Ben Carson and Rick Perry.
The same could be asked of Tim Scott.
I honestly don't think he cares. I think it's more about being on TV, to be on TV more, to then turn the foolishness into paid appearances and hustle a podcast.
Vivek thinks because he agrees with them that things will be different.
He's not trying to win. Most of them aren't. They're just fundraising.
You'd think after trump more people would be aware.... He was grifting from the start and might of never even thought he had a shot. The campaign donations are basically a slush fund they have access to for anything they can make a half ass excuse to use it for. Never pay for another flight, meal or hotel room in your life after one relevant primary state showing.
Money. No one will vote for him, but the party as a whole loves when minorities join them, and they'll throw cash at them to be to say, "See? We aren't all white so we can't be racist."
I'm assuming he's paid to be a candidate. No he will never win the primary but he's up there. Also I think they might be able to vote for a black guy, as long as he's able to go up there and say "there's no such thing as racism". I mean they did platform ben carson,
And put Thomas on the bench because he was 'one of the good ones'.
