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!

Isn't it weird the Republican nominees don't laugh like most people?I haven't watched much of Vance to notice this but since they're ragging on Harris for laughing I bet that's a big bullet point to avoid when he's in public.
Emotions are difficult for them outside of fear and anger over “everything wrong with this country”. They don’t like public display of emotion, as evidenced by their sharp criticism of Walz’ son Gus crying at the convention. They do seem pretty happy to inflict suffering where they can.
I actually don't think I've seen Vance express what seemed to be one single genuine emotion. Even his "anger" feels and sounds manufactured. The one time I felt anything genuine from him was when he was telling the story about how he told his son to shut the hell up about pokemon
It's because they're sociopaths, but not the well adjusted kind that can blend into society.
More than 50% of republicans have begun an address to a crowd/reporter with, "Look, we all kill dogs sometimes..."
Has tRump ever laughed? I can't recall ever seeing a clip of him laughing. I bet when he does, it's to something horrible happening to women & children
The closest I've seen to genuine happiness is the video of him laughing with Jeffrey Epstein, so yeah, that checks out.
He punches down in his 'jokes', and laughs at other people's misery rather than when it's in good humour. How anyone can vote for a politician that can't laugh at themselves let alone a good joke is a mystery to me.
have you seen him at his roast? he was not liking it.
I've seen him with that smug prick smirk of his but that's about it outta me dawg
A smirk that is a punchable.
