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!

Sooo many boomers I know were so annoyed with Trump v Biden, saying "Anyone but these two."
They got their wish.
“The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins this election." ~Nikki Hailey
Looks like she might have been right.
If she'd been nominated instead of Trump the GOP would win on a walk.
2 Democrats haven't been elected into office twice in a row since before the Civil War (a VEEPS were elevated to the office through deaths) - this should have been easy for the GOP, but instead they nominated the most-divisive politician in American history.
Ehhh lots of the GOP is openly racist and wouldn't vote for someone of Indian descent.
2 Dems haven't won in a row after an 8 year term, combined with a race with no incumbent/former president, I think that'd be an open race.
I really hate these headlines. 1. The actual shift is tiny (don’t get complacent). 2. Soon enough the media will be bored and cherrypick some numbers that are good for Trump generating new headlines. Anything to ensure the debate is not about policy.
“oh, it’s porridge and word salad again, fuck me, will we ever get anything more than empty promises.”
same with democrats and the ones of us who have escaped the Matrix are ridiculed by both parties for speaking against either corpo party
Awesome whataboutism.
Of the two sides, which of them is more open and honest and actually passes policies to help people? And which is one that name calls and blocks any policy just because the other side made it.
Yay, the both sides morons are back. 🙄
Dope word salad, looks delicious
Can you guys at least get some new material? You say the same thing over and over and over again.
It might help if they watch a movie that isn't The Matrix. Let's start with that.
that is because our leaders keep failing us on the same things over and over again
