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!

This is about undecideds. Nobody in their right mind is trying to court neo-Nazis to vote for Kamala.
If someone is undecided at this point, they're either disingenuous and embarrassed about their support for Trump, or they're a moron.
you're right, but there sure seems to be a lot of morons in the electorate, so...
Nobody ever failed because they overestimated the number of morons in America.
I think George Carlin said it, and I’m paraphrasing poorly:
They certainly as
Putin seems to be leading the race to disprove that hypothesis...
You have to remember these are just simple farmers.
These are people of the land.
The common clay of the new west.
You know....
Morons
Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded...and cattle raped.
Now the time has come to act...and act fast.
I'm leaving.
A moron's vote for Harris counts the same a genious' vote for Harris.
There are a lot of morons out there. And some actually might be swayed one way or the other.
I had a random conversation today with someone that knew absolutely nothing about politics and wasn't sure about voting. I would guarantee you that if Harris herself talked to this person they would go vote for her.
Here we have some serious selection bias. Not necessarily right vs left, but interested enough to be commenting about it on the fediverse.
