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!

I kinda want him to run again just to unite everyone against this system. Something needs to make the revolution happen.
This is kind of the reason why I don't want Trump to be assassinated, too. If we don't learn from our mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them.
An assassination will just make him a martyr and harder to turn the tide back.
I'm not certain that he would lose, especially with the ratfuckery that will definitely happen. They're already talking about putting ICE agents at ballot boxes, and ICE has already been caught kidnapping and attacking US citizens, so idk how this would be legitimately understood to be anything but voter intimidation.
Even in 2020, Biden barely beat him despite the spiraling economy and cataclysmic pandemic under trump. I know Biden wasn't exactly the most exciting candidate, but being able to vote by mail was a major advantage to raise voter turnout and avoid intimidation attempts.
5 points isn't a particularly close Presidential election. Trump won by 1.5 points in 2024, and -1.1 in 2016 (funny how that works).
What we've generally seen since the 2000 election is that when Republicans win, they do so by thin of margins (Bush 2004 was by 2.4 points). Twice during that period they won on negative margins.
