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!

Eat shit, Manchin. People's lives are at stake.
Manchin's not even on the ballot in 2024. He's ditched the party to become an independent, while his seat is polling 64/28 Republican favoring the outgoing governor Jim Justice to a small town mayor from Wheeling named Glenn Elliott.
Sinema, the other walking "we can't because" excuse by the Dems, quit to dedicate herself fully to drinking with other lobbyists in wine caves. Arizona is polling significantly better for Dems (49/43 or thereabouts) now that the GOP is running an outspoken fascist Kari Lake in a majority-minority state.
But the Senate map still favors the GOP by one seat. Dems need to defend Montana and Ohio to hold an even 50 seats. Otherwise, they'll have to scrounge a pickup from seething gasp Texas or Florida. So, it could very well not be an issue in 2024. The GOP could retake the Senate and spend the next two years holding the national economy at gunpoint with a government shutdown.
Yo, Missourian here ready to get traitor Josh Hawley replaced. I don't care what the polls say, I'm showing up no matter what.
That's sweet, but Hawley is a product of his state. Missouri is dripping with white nationalism.

For sure, I'm well aware on the other side of the state. There are active KKK chapters within a few miles of me. All the more reason to show up.
Shame on Manchin. He's power hungry and knows he and sinema get all the power this way.
