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!

It’s weird; I didn’t see a single ad for Robinson here in NC until after the scandal broke
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, he has all the money he was paying them free to spend now....
My guess is frequency illusion
Might make sense if I hadn’t been painfully aware of his existence for months before this latest incident.
There’ve actually been a lot of anti-Robinson ads ever since the primary.
Maybe the opposition stopped bothering advertising against him so hard.
Or move they’re working on new ads that are coming this week.
Is actually better for Dems if he doesn’t drop out of the race (I think the deadline to replace him on the ballot is Thursday). So if we’re quiet and force him to stay on the ballot, it will help us for both the presidency and governor race.
Need to be careful with this kind of thinking - that was the Dems' attitude towards Trump during the 2016 election.
True, hopefully this doesn’t breed some form of complacency among Democrat voters. It should help D turnout against him, which would help down ballot.
Lucky you. I started seeing them months ago. They paint him as this innocent Southern man of humble origins. Tbf, I don’t remember seeing one of them within the past month or so, so maybe they’ve actually died off in some places,
Dear MAGA SuperPACs, I've received more of your mailings than credit card offers and bills combined over the past four month. Though the gaslighting offered by them frequently cause me to laugh out loud at your brazen lies, I still tire from seeing that treasonous pumpkin of a candidate you have in my mailbox. As 99% of these mailings get torn up and thrown straight into my outside recycling bin, you are more than welcome to stop mailing me. Thank you, committed Harris voter in North Carolina.
