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!

I sometimes think that the GOP is going out of their way to field the most bat-shit crazy field of candidates at all levels just to make Trump look sane by comparison.
Nah they're voters are just that mentally unfit and fascist.
Nah, the voters at best are uneducated and bandwagoners led by cheap group emotional manipulation (which is much easier to do to someone lacking an education)
Remember everyone, we've gotta live with these people after Trump and Biden go to live on the farm. We don't have the numbers to simplistically oppress them (wouldn't work for long if we did), or the desire to wipe them out (which, why would we want to become them). So we better start prepping ourselves for continuing life as equal citizens with people who voted for Trump.
(Especially if we're ever gonna get enough people on board with turning against actual ruiling class UwU)
It’s a thought. And I’m happy to engage once they admit out loud that they were wrong to support a demented rapist fraud for president who was clearly incompetent. And, who tried to overthrow democracy.
Say that, and we’re back to talking again. Don’t and, well, lolno.
Sorry, but bad people are bad. It doesn't matter how stupid they are if they're already making life worse for others for stupid reasons.
It doesn't excuse them.
It does matter why they hold those opinions, unless you think its a good idea to not give them voting rights, in which case.... You have some interesting opinions.
Trump is too preoccupied with grifting to say all this crazy shit.
Ha - we wish! The infinite monkeys typing his babbling in his brain will absolutely get there. This guy is just not as mentally incapacitated, so he got there faster.
Could be. Wouldn't surprise me. Also possible the grifters are being replaced with true believers.
