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!

No matter what happens, I'm worried. I'm not even American.
Resident Canadian here.... If Trump loses, we're possibly looking at another January 6th, and potentially it will be far far worse this time... If he wins, there may be a similar uprising for the same reason.
If he's elected and sworn in to office, there's a very real chance that he will be the last president, voted in to power by an election, and sworn in.
Every outcome is scary. Good luck you guys.
His ideas are concerning and the confidence with which he goes about expressing them, even more so.
What gives me relief is the piss poor execution and the incompetent people he surrounds himself with. He has turned and burned so many loyalist of his that he is left scraping the barrel. His campaign is rule by clowns and he surrounds himself in an echo camber of social media and poltical personalities. Even if he were to win, it will crumble, much like his many many businesses, as their is no foundation.
Even if Harris wins, it's not like there is some magic utopia her administration will create. I do wish Trump wasn't such a distraction so we could have meaningful conversations about public policy that matters instead of talking about crowd sizes and where someone's parents were born.
