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!

Fucker's still got half the vote. Maybe we do deserve the punishment for being so stupid! History will repeat itself, and it looks like its happening soon.
It's propaganda. People that choose to consume corporate media (even us here) are often duped by propagandists, but Fox and Newsmax are among the absolute worst literally fabricating a false reality for their viewers so that they feel victimized by their opposition and see Trump as their savior...
It's so fucking gross.
Obligatory: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!
Are you a doomer or did you just have a dumb moment here
Its getting harder to have hope. Don't wanna be all doom and gloom, but this is absolutely nuts the guy has 50%.
Fear and being dumb are two different things. This person is experiencing fear and has every right to feel that way.
Some people react to fear with words, some hide it and some get violent. Some of us do all three. No reason to pick on people because they express their fears with honest words instead of some of the alternatives.
I am blocking you for the mansplaining. They were being dumb.
K. Bye.
“ I attacked someone first by calling them dumb, you explained to me in a very reasonable tone why they might feel that way. I don’t like that. I blocked you. 🤡”
