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 saw some Congressman talk about how it's wrong to say he's a threat to democracy...
Dude's hat literally says 45-47, after 50 court dismissing his claims. How much more blatant does it need to be before you actually are a threat to democracy? After you've already completely destroyed it?
I agree. However, isn't the 45-47 just him being the 45th president and him wanting to be the 47th?
I don't think it means 45, 46, and 47... though I could be wrong because it's him. It should probably be 45&47 or 45/47 to be more clear, but again it's him.
It’s the subtext that matters. It could just as easily say 45,47, or the options you said, but it pretty definitively says Trump should be president for three terms, and if Trump is elected, I guarantee he won’t step down to a democratic election when his term is up, it’ll either be:
They already know, it's the one thing the blue no matter who crowd has been promising all along - that Biden will sAVe dEmoCrAcY, but now that someone actually tried to get rid of the threat to democracy (even if that wasn't his motive), the only thing they have to cling on to is their "civility" aka "the rules" (written and enforced by authoritarians looking to maintain their position), because the truth is, they never gave a shit about "democracy" (one never really existed anyway) only about their "team" winning, because to them it's still just a game, that's why they stand by Biden despite him clearly posing no threat to fascism whatsoever...
