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 hope this is just the first salvo the Biden's launch and start using all the ridiculous policies the GOP is setting against them.
I am middle of the road but registered democrat. I vote for who I think will do the best job in local and national elections.
I am partially paralyzed and it takes me 1/2 a day to vote. I will always vote because its all we have imo.
IMO The Electoral college stole the election from Hillary but you don't see her running around like Kari Lake who is acting this way on purpose so if Trump wins, she will get appointed to a good job in his cabinet.
Back to Hillary, She won the popular vote by millions and still lost!
This is what the electoral college did
She won the popular vote just short of 3 Million!
Back then we had **249,372,406 people over the age of 18. About 80% of them were eligible to vote
That is roughly 200k people. 199,497,924. The point is the amount of popular votes should have been a solid win. Not a landslide but solid.
This makes me very sketched out along with all these new voting districts and restrictions on absentee ballots,
and some states banning giving people in line a bottle of water or food! Google line warming!
What if Biden wins by 2 million? Is that a solid win for Trump???
**Child and Adult Populations 2016
Age 18 and over
United States 249,372,462
I think you may have meant 200M, or you have 3 extra numbers and a comma that don't belong lol.
He meant a period instead of the 2nd comma. 0.924 extra people voted for Hillary
