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!

And democrats giving everyone a reason to not vote for them. Turnip didn't win the last election, the dems gave it away.
If only Kamala had promised everyone a pony I would have been motivated to go out and vote against fascism.
She really should have. Trump had no shame lying about everything. You can't counter that. After the election is over, you can point out the lies but by then it's too late.
There is no downside to lying because the mainstream press is fully right wing.
Well, except the media will put a laser focus on any mistakes Democrats make, nevermind any brazen lying. They will fact check a Biden stutter, for example, or do endless exposes on Hillary's emails.
When a Republican does, well, just whatever they want, really, including incredible amounts of brazen lying, it's just expected.
The Democrats are expected to be as pure as the driven snow, otherwise it's a steady drumbeat of criticism for them from the "liberal media" (and the batshit insanely RW media, too).
Exactly. The mainstream press is right wing. They're going to cover anything a Dem does that could be considered a lie. But it's after the election.
The new model has to be to win at all costs.
I am not disagreeing with you, but it definitely was because the Dems refused to clean up after Cheeto Benito.
Not just that but they wanted to diehard hold on to the Israeli genocide machine no matter the cost, including the election ... even though everyone screamed at them to let go in exchange for a vote.
I have no idea why everyone in power in America no matter the party has such a hardon for Israel and perpetual war in the Middle East.
Not supporting Isreal would had cost votes too.
It seemed to me that on the one hand, internationally, idiots like Bibi and Putin were emboldened by Trump and then both of them just hid behind the status quo - that the Dems won't touch - long enough that the shit they started tanked Biden's presidency.
Also, the whole political class in the US is just too old to try to adapt to stuff. Another news article is calling out the Dems for "failing to keep up" with 83 year old Trump.
