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 braved looking at Elon’s stupid fucking face again to look at the article and it’s WAY worse than the headline suggests. They’re literally advertising a voter registration form that selectively registers you to vote based on which state you live in. If you live in a battleground state, it forces you through a lengthy form full of detailed (unnecessary) data collection then doesn’t even register you to vote. This is basically fraud.
To be fair, if someone is still using Xitter, it’s only a matter of time before they get screwed. Not in a good way.
100%, but this is an ad running on Google.
Ugh. Even worse.
I could see that backfiring. The only people still listening to that fuckstick are right wingers. So right wingers in battleground states are going to be most affected.
Edit: Double checked and it’s an ad that has Trumps face on it so my point stands. Only people clicking trumps face willingly are right wingers
Maybe it’s mistargeted, dumb fraud, but it’s still fraud. What kind of shitty, worthless human says “let’s offer help to register to vote but misdirect some of the audience?” I don’t care who you are, that’s just the work of a sociopathic piece of shit.
Oh I agree that it’s still fraud, just pointing out it’s bumbling stupid fraud.
I believe he's either being sued or investigated for fraud now
I hope he gets crushed and forced to donate $500m to Fair Fight or a nonpartisan voter registration nonprofit chosen by the court.
