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!

There are enough true criticisms of Trump that these false headlines are embarrassing. He attempted to deny being racist. He did quite a poor job, but if this is "full racist" then what would an explicit and unapologetic claim of racial superiority be?
How is claiming Harris "turned black" not very racist?
That's not him denying being racist, that's him being racist
I'm not saying that he didn't make racist statements. (I think he did.) I'm saying that, given that he didn't go up on stage and say "whites are the master race," he did not go "full racist" the way that this headline claims.
Having a differing definition of what "full racist" means from the author does not make it false
What's the author's personal definition of "full" in this context if it isn't something like "being at the highest or greatest degree"?
You seem to be arguing that because there's the possibility of being more obvious, then it wasn't full.
Your example doesn't include killing or enslaving people for their race. So it's not full racist.
Or there is no objective line, but semi-arbitrary lines and we all get to gatekeep each other's lines.
Because that's the best use of our time.
He's obviously racist. Let's see how he does as he continues to tilt.
To me, I might read it as in not a dogwhistle, and like undeniably racist
Are you defending racism? It sounds like you're sad Trump got called full racist, instead of half-racist, but why? Do you want to make sure poor Donny doesn't get trash talked? Wtf?
A little racism, is too much racism. One Nazi, are too many Nazis.
well that's a stupid take 😂
he is attacking her on behalf of her race (albeit laughably stupidly), how would you call that?
“She was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black person,” he said of Ms. Harris, whose mother was Indian American, whose father is Black and who has always identified as a Black woman.
Special Pleading for racism? Are we sure this isn't 1924?
