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!

Honestly, if Trump wins I hope America burns. We all deserve it, some more than others, if he wins.
Seriously, here in Australia, a win is a legitimate reason to take yanks in as political refugees (especially women)
As an American trans woman, at this point I think I could handle my arachnophobia enough to flee to Australia
Nah let's build a wall.
NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It's crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It'll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.
Yup. American democracy is going to be dead after this election.
I wonder how much of that project 2025 will be implemented.
It's been in hospice since 2000.
How alive is it when the 'democratic' candidate was anointed instead of voted for through a democratic process? I'm not a Trump fan at all but at least he was chosen by the people.
Deligates DID elect her, and they did so because the party members they represent wanted her to take over, there was 5+ internal polls sent to registered democrats, this didn't SUDDENLY happen, it was weeks of polling and campaigning. A party doesn't need to have a public primary to select a candidate.
Pff policy aside, the guy is a man-child and somehow that appeals to people
Because they are adult children too
It's the fear and blame, they now know white people can go back to having all the privilege, and brown people can be rounded up and infinity detained or exiled, imprisoned, enslaved, over policed, under served. Because they know any black having a job, means they got the job by being black and they stole it from a actually qualified white.
What about this statement means the people thinking this way aren't adult children? It seems you are just pointing out cognitively/emotionally immature ways of thinking here.
That alone can't be it, I'm a man-child and I'd never vote for him if I had a say in this election.
It's the fact that he promises easy solutions to everything. What are the solutions? Well that doesn't matter, he promised he'll deal with all the problems, that's enough.
What a shitty attitude
What a shitty American voting public that hopefully will get what they deserve.
