Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Do you think that cost a single vote? I don't. They were and are deplorable. They are filth for hating immigrants in a country built by immigrants. For oppressing women while needing them to stop the fictional "great replacement". For pretending to care about LGBTQ+ people while voting to take away their rights. For acting like they are "pro-life" while actively harming the lives of children by burning their books, taking away their school lunches, locking the brown ones in cages, taking away food and assistance from the most vulnerable Americans, and locking the rest in for-profit prisons. For devastating the environment we all depend on for the benefit of the richest people on the planet.

Don't believe me, look it up! This is Trump and Project 2024's dream and they are committed to making it happen. Please make sure you, your friends, and family have a plan to vote, volunteer and donate.

I wouldn't say it cost any votes, but it seemed to rile them up more

Which makes them more likely to vote...

The deplorables comment absolutely cost her the election. It energized trump supporters while likely demoralizing moderate democratic voters. Attacking the people, even the ones that will never support you, is a poor strategy in a democracy.
