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!

In related news: Chris Rock boycotts Rhiannas Panties.
Is that supposed to be a threat?
I wasn't going to vote for him anyway so this is fine. Keep yourself from winning enough electoral votes for all we care.
Hey, it's a free country. He can do what he wants.
O noes... anyways
Way to have a big swinging dick, my man… /s
Hahahahaha!
Also last dude I knew named Vivek was a stalker so he's got that going for him.
Can we red carpet this ideology please? Let’s welcome this clown to do the same everywhere he goes!
Ok. 👍
Good. Less idiots
Republicans are so desperate they'll try literally anything
First time I've heard of this guy lmao
Pretty much.
Stop giving this guy attention.
It's all he wants and he wants it desperately.
Ah yes, Vivek's daily "Twerking' For Trump" (or more accurately his supports) entry.
Ramaswamy challenged Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie to follow his lead and takem themselves off the Maine ballot.
This is what an actual threat to democracy looks like. The system is hellbent on taking this man out, the Constitution be damned. I stand by my prior pledge to withdraw from any state’s ballot that ultimately removes Trump from its ballot. I call on DeSantis, Christie, and… — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) December 29, 2023
Ramaswamy made a similar dive for the spotlight after Colorado's Supreme Court ruled Trump's actions leading up to his supporters' bloody rampage through the Capitol on January 6 had rendered him ineligible for the presidency under the 14th Amendment. Ramaswamy's electoral self-immolation is currently on hold, since the vanquished president got back on the Rocky Mountain state's ballot pending a final determination by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Michigan Supreme Court rejected a bid to remove Trump from the swing state's ballot.
Good!
Oh man, double benefit! It's a win-win!
What a cowardly buttkiss.
Feck off. Fucking gnat.
