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 think Democrats are trying to take lessons learned from the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, applying them to properly defeat Trump. Those campaigns they felt too civilized and proper to stoop into Trump's tactics, and that barely got them anywhere.
To defeat Trump, we ended with an organic version of the "birther conspiracy" which is the couch-fucker thing. Getting the media all riled up with silly things so that Trump's distractions become meaningless is part of the strategy, the "but her emails" of 2024 is the "weird" thing. In both cases the Democrats don't have to be delusional, it's kind of tongue-in-cheek while the Trump campaign is having meltdown after meltdown over it.
A visit to a donut shop should be a layup for any campaign to look like they understand the common voter, it's not that Vance looked like a perv doing it, it's just telling that the Trump campaign can't even succeed in that.
Idk I just watched the video and my takeaway was that this is the kind of man who asks a waitress out and doesn’t take evasiveness as an answer. Maybe it’s not full perv, but it’s not not perv
