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 haven't been paying attention. Is Mike Pence running for president? Doesn't he remember when his own supporters tried to hang him? Who would vote for him?
Mother, mother would vote for him... if pence allowed her to vote.
There’s a thought that most of them are running for the vp spot. If Trump wins he’ll only be able to serve one term. Whoever is the vp has an advantage in 2028.
If Trump gets in the Whitehouse again he won't be leaving until he is dead. They do all know he and his hardcore followers are trying to set him as a dictator?
And feudalist society is trying help make that happy with their 2025 project.
If he manages to finish his term. Biden's old but so is Trump.
Don't let the echo chamber of lemmy and reddit fool you. In the real world the statistics offer up much thinner margins. In 2020 over half of all males in the US voted for Trump. Off topic but isn't it funny how we have historically and currently spend so much time harping on about how men are smarter than women and yet you have a clear piece of statistical evidence that rhe majority of American voting age males are stupid as fuck.
Vote as if the majority of us males are stupid as fuck because they are absolutely going to vote for Trump again.
I would argue they are voting for what the perceive as their best interest. If you are a white male with a good job, health care, owns guns and a has house in a nice neighborhood what can the Democratic party’s platform do for you?

I am going to vote for whoever is the challenger to Trump because I follow the news and don’t want a Facist take over of our government and I want to preserve the right to choose for my daughters. But beyond that there is very little about the platform besides the environment that appeals to me directly. Most of it would negatively impact my well being.
Hopefully they go the way of the Whigs.
