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!

14A arguments have been used to DQ people many times in the past without court proceedings.
The Supreme Court is obviously going to put Trump on the ballot, but we shouldn't pretend they have any justified reason to do so.
Let's just ignore loopholes because Republicans would never use the same one twice!

If we fight fascism with inaction, I do t like our chances.
We need to do shit not just say "it would happen anyways, nothing we can do"
And what would that be. Let me guess: peacefully protest? Yeah that's going to surely change their minds.
I'm afraid this issue (contingent on the expected result of failure of the "justice" system) can no longer be solved peacefully. This is the moment all those 2nd amendment goons were keeping their ~~dicks hard~~ guns ready for, and they're all in arms to support the domestic enemy. There's nothing left to do. Get a gun.
And then what?
That's called brandishing, and it's a federal crime, meaning that it is illegal in every single state.
Did you mean open carry? That's not legal in most states if you are participating in a known protest.
Learn firearm laws before continuing to say more dumb shit and making firearm owners look bad.
You are considered what most of us gun people call a Fudd.
"Illegal protest is illegal" no shit, sherlock. We have a word for you, too.
Are you referring to 14A arguments outside of sec. 3? I ask because section 3 has only been applied to one non-confederate
