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!

IT 👏 DOESNT 👏 MATTER 👏 HOW 👏 PEOPLE 👏VOTE 👏 IF 👏HIS👏FOLLOWERS👏CHEAT👏 ENOUGH 👏LOCAL👏RESULTS
Yes it does. Vote.
Yeah but yknow maybe also pay attention to the people who CLEARLY don’t care if you vote bc they don’t believe your vote counts. It’s happened before
Fuck off, beefbot
I WANT to believe the way you do. No sarcasm. PEOPLE BETTER VOTE, … I shouldnt have excluded that. But after 25y (remember the Supreme Court in 2000?) I can’t help but panic here
All that means is our votes count less than theirs. We knew that already, that's how a bicameral legislature works. That doesn't make our votes weigh nothing. It makes them weigh less, which means we need to make up for that with even more votes.
From that perspective it means it's MORE important to vote, not less.
The voter turnout in the country is absolutely shameful, and we complain about government not representing our interests. Voting is the bare minimum effort. Nobody should offer up a single political opinion if you don't vote. It's your entry ticket into the conversation.
We’re better off FINDING out who these turds are and UNDERMINING them beforehand
They are also not going to accept the results when he loses.
