Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

If they happen. Fascists don't give up power by letting the people choose.
The question is not whether they will happen; the question is whether they will be fair and free.
Every modern authoritarian regime, even including North Korea, at least maintains the pretense of voting.
They won't be free. If zuck and musk keep supporting Trump, they can decide the election with their websites alone.
They will be free of foreign interference for the first time in decades largely because the US government will be interfering instead.
Partial list of billionaires in attendance to Trump's inauguration in person. The collective control they have over the information, infrastructure, and financing is terrifying.
