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!

"Emperor demands to be told he is wearing clothes"
"Election fraud".... how? A) Reporting facts of public opinion is never illegal. B) Election fraud comes in 3 forms, as far as I know. 1. Campaign finance fraud. 2. Civil rights violations. 3. Voting/ballot fraud. This is clearly none of these. C) There is no Election going on. The current administration has only existed for 3 months. We are about as far from an election while being far enough into an administration to hold a valid opinion on it as possible. D) YOU CANNOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN YOU FUCKING RUBE! I don't give a fuck what your ethically void legal team of Heritage Foundation ideolgues tells you. They are full of shit.
A) Reporting facts of public opinion is never illegal.
So far. If the crybaby gets what he wants, it will be.
D) YOU CANNOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN YOU FUCKING RUBE!
Alas, when has the constitution actually stopped him? His supporters fully support this blantantly corrupt crap, and he's even selling "Trump 2028" merch.

Yes, but for him to actually run, he needs to be on the ballot. Elections are run by the states. He would need enough states to recognize his legal right to run again to even be on their ballots. Then he would have to win any number of court challenges to his being allowed. And then he would have to actually win. And then he would have to be confirmed by Congress. I'm sure he'll do anything he can to game the system, but I don't think he'll make it past all of those stopgaps. More than likely, if he gets a third term, it will not be through any amount of legitimate means. He'll try to skip elections entirely, is my bet.

Definitely not something a dictator does right?
"Any approval rating that isn't 100% is a punishable offense! All hail Dear Leader!"
This timeline has brain damage.
How is this real life?
More signaling that he plans to ignore the constitution and try to run again in 2028, as if anyone is surprised. (I think we'll mostly be surprised if he makes it to 2028)
Run? He won't need to run, he'll be Führer by then.
Nah. Someone gon catch him slippin.
Makes demand from his golf course, where he has spent approximately 80% of his time since inauguration, on taxpayers’ dime.

Oh I thought this was The Onion for a second, but apparently it's real. I mean, obviously.
Might know that would stick him lol
What a fucking baby
Reminder: he has sued over negative polls in the past.
If you ask me it's one part intimidation and one part delusional (can't fathom people don't like him).
It can also be a tactic to keep his followers at bay who might see those numbers and question his work. I know, it seems a stretch, but somewhere out there are a few people every day who go, "hey...wait a minute". It's easy management, just suggestions from him that the polls are wrong ease any wandering minds.
I don't know how, but on any of these polls you have people respond they either are unsure/undecided/need more information. Low information voters unfortunately can make or break a close election.
Of course a great way to counter a bad poll is to try and NOT suck, but Trump has always used the legal system to try and get what he wants. Also the irony of all his gusto about election interference is that he lost an election interference case (where he did the interference), but then was allowed to run the clock out before he was sentenced.
It's always projection!
Let's get that chilling effect going on pollsters early, so by the time 2028 rolls around, nobody will be able to have any idea about any candidates actual popularity.
Investigators can save a lot of time by just handing him a mirror
Of course he does.
Christ, I miss the short reprieve of 4 years where I didn't have to concern myself with what this asshat was emoting about.
This guy is such a clown...it's really unbelievable...what a disgrace to the USA.
Trump = Eggshell vagina.
(No genderphobe.)
I thought Kevin Durant was the softest human on the planet. I was completely wrong.
“He said, into a mirror.”
Perhaps he ought to investigate how to liberate his assmouth from putin’s schlong.
Polls are elections now?
MORE PROOF that Donald Trump is a YOUNG, SPRY, STRONG, MENTALLY ACUTE NOT Snowflake!
