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!

MODERATORS
If can't win legitimately they will cheat. This act should straight up be illegal.
It is, but Trump showed the GOP that you can break the law in politics and nobody will do anything about it.
Why are conservatives such cartoonishly evil pieces of shit? I truly hope we get to a place were Republicans are no longer a threat to democracy, but I just don't see how that happens.
They're evil because it keeps working. They don't have to worry about an armed mob.
They don't, until they do.
Yeah that's great and all love the sentiment but that's all it is. This shit is almost game over. The right has already shown they with show up armed and attempt a coup. That's not even mentioning how much they are cheating and no one seems to be stopping them.
They not only don't have to worry about an armed mob they have their own armed mob who will literally try and overthrow the government for them.
They keep getting away with everything. They will find a way to wiggle out of anything because they are willing to do anything without giving a second thought to morality or legality.
They want power they get power and are willing to kill you for it. Then they will dismantle our entire country and sell it to the highest bidder.
We should be dragging this fuckers into the streets and start beating them with their own coin purses.
You probably should do that to preserve democracy and protect yourself and your country, but you're not going to. Instead what you'll see is them coming for group after group and first throwing them in prison and then concentration camps. You'll try to debate them and vote them out while they methodically kill you, thereby increasing their power.
It's the same pattern as always. If I were in the US I'd do everything to flee while I still could.
