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!

Holy hell those three people are infuriating.
"Yeah, he's a racist and a bigot, but my pocketbook..." Lady, unless you make enough that it doesn't matter, he's not going to help your pocketbook.
He's going to hurt your pocketbook*
Let's be real here.
I guarantee that woman has been registered R her entire life, sees why he is problematic on a very superficial level, and is still going to AT BEST abstain from voting but more likely vote for him anyhow.
~~Pretty much.~~
You're right.
Edit: I'm agreeing with Thunder, not Lynne.
Not at all. Projections from people who know indicate that the economy would do better under Harris, and I don't think there's anyone who could credibly argue that Trump is the more moral candidate.
Sorry, I meant pretty much to ThunderWhiskers' comment about her being a Republican that realizes how problematic Trump is.
The biggest miss at the debate was Harris not reminding everyone how Trump was bullying the fed chair on Twitter when everyone said it was time to start raising interest rates.
In general, the distinction between populism and technocracy needs to be front and center. This is a very easy example.
I highly doubt most voters even know what the fed does, let alone that theyre supposed to be independent.
She’s a moron.
Be careful to identify the antecedent to your pronouns.
I think the context makes it clear.
Economists are predicting a recession if trump is elected
They need to come to Asia. Get a sense of perspective. They're earning plenty.
