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!

Republican women are dumb as shit, that's not enough. That dropped literally right before midterms and they still got Congress seats.
Whoa. No. Not even the case.
Look at every red state that has had a ballot on this issue. You're fucking dumb.
Okay buddy liberal, go pass some legislation then👍
Just living in the now. You should figure out how to get here.
😂
It seems your understanding on how laws are passed is tenuous at best.
You do understand that Trump can't do all the things he says, right?
Lol, this dudebro thinks people that criticize liberalism on Lemmy must be conservatives. Explains why he was too lazy to downvote my comment history more than ten comments deep.
I hope you sober up, friend.
Generally speaking, I would not look to republicans for help in winning this election. The question is whether you can find a way to increase turn out.
The democrats have been very bad at explaining why people should turn up to vote in the mid terms if they want to keep abortion legal. In a presidential year, and when there’s an abortion access measure on the ballot, the argument it’s easier to make.
TLDR: GOTV for mid terms sucks eggs.
