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!

Mockery is the most effective way to beat Blue Maga (imo). We need to show how embarrassing it is to be associated with them.
And calling out the propagandists for their inability to understand the simplest concepts of politics, and their blatant misinformation is the most effecting way to beat MAGA trills.
How many of you get your posts removed for misinformation? Check the mod logs bud. Because from where I sit- the people urging everyone to vote get only their shit removed for bing uncivil and aggressive towards the propagandists urging people not to-
whereas the propagandists get their shit removed for misinformation. CONSTANTLY.
You are the propagandist kiddo, or rather, you are that whom have been so heavily propagandized to, you've lost your connection to reality; so from your perspective, everything that disagrees with your world view appears to you to be propaganda, because your connection to reality has been effectively severed.
And specifically thing thing that got called "misinformation"? It was an ground up analysis I did looking at Bidens probability of winning given his current approval rating. I can repost it if you like.
And guess what?
That analysis predicted this exact moment.
It’s unbelievably funny to me how you people cite “analytics” and polls to support your bullshit where you’ve been told time and again that that shit can say whatever you need it to say to support an agenda/argument, or in the case of news media- PROFIT.
Congrats man. You’re the reason you’re getting the news that supports your own beleif. Crazy, right? I know! Bonkers!!!
Everyone needs to vote like polls don’t exist. Plain and simple.
"You people"
People like Nancy Pelosi or Adam Schiff?
Bro you've gaslit yourself into a fantasy land and you just live in denial.
Says the person that thinks doing nothing will bring change. I’ve asked you people this before and they always run away…
I’ll ask again. If you answer, it’ll at least be interesting, if you don’t- I get to not have to interact with you- either way, I win. So here goes:
When in history has doing nothing ever brought desired change in an election.
I await your strawman.
What do you have to say about the fact that two of the top figures in the Democratic party have asked Biden to step down; they are informing him that he wont be the nominee because he hands the election to Trump?
This is reality. Today's reality. The news of the day.
I’m not sure where you’re getting your programming, but you might want a downgrade.
Pelosi said:
Schiff said:
and:
Trump is barely younger. And you can’t tell me that you’re okay with Trump’s age as long as he can conduct a speech. Or is that what you’re saying?
Your sources are full of shit.
So… as usual, you get caught bullshitting and move on to your only defense- distraction and insults.
Boring and predictable.
And it very much IS about Trump. Your attempts to make Biden out to be the words worst choice when running against a rapist/convict/traitor shows your purpose here.
It’s getting boring trapping you in your own lies man. You really need to up your game.
Or maybe you are the bullshitting distraction, Russian psyop whatever you are projecting these days.
I mean, wouldn't the Russians want the best possible chance for Trump to win again?
Your actions make sense in that context.
I guess if you are really good at suspending reality. And considering your very public and very desperate need to convince people not to vote against Trump because…. Reasons-
It makes sense.
This you fam?

This you……. fAm?
I don't know dude. You are the one who is doing the work of the Heritage foundation.
You’re the one purposefully misquoting people to suit a narrative intended to split voters.
Lmao, get a job, honkey
Removed, civility.
I listened to a podcast yesterday that said the same thing. Most of us were conservative/liberal at some point. What started to change our minds? Many change when our views are mocked by their wider social circles. Maybe not at once, but eventually.
