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!

Thing is, Republicans lose wherever they don't get to cheat. This is for two reasons:
And then the news media continue to present Republican policy positions and candidates as if they were normal American behavior by normal Americans.
They're really not. They only win when they cheat.
What policy positions? Donald J. Trump was president of this country. What part of that tells you that policy positions can break a candidate? Democrat apathy is what decides elections.
"Anti-woke" is a policy position. It means "Anything we can caricature using black English, it is our intention to harm."
Yep ~ in a sane world they'd be extinct like the Dodo ~ but they keep getting a pass
People ideologically to the left of "republican" generally believe in human rights, so they haven't exterminated them.
The paradox of tolerance is only a paradox when all context is removed from actions.
IMO, only pacifists and fools should believe in perpetual nonviolence.
Meanwhile you have zero experience in martial arts, you own zero guns and have zero time at a range to practice marksmanship. You are a pacifist as well.
And you still live in your mom's basement.
That is not the insult it used to be.
I am so proud of you; that was a very clever comment and alpha of you to use a non sequitur there.
Neither; you are a healthy attractive and intelligent person interacting with morons like me on Lemmy.
The Dodo wasnt badly adapted it was the damned Dutch that did them in!
