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!

Here's one of Walz's Falses
That's some hair-splitting bullshit if I ever heard it. How is the federal government going to collect information on abortions, miscarriages, and stillbirths if they aren't tracking pregnancies? Walz did not mention "a new federal agency" at all. Just that they want to collect the information about pregnancies and how they end.
The other lie was that Trump paid no federal income tax, which is mostly true except for when he paid back taxes in 2016 because he was running for President, and then while he was President, his taxes were paid for him.
Meanwhile, Vance is like "Walz passed a law allowing doctors to murder babies." These false statements are not at all the same.
you're totally right on this. I'm surprised walz didn't say more than "that was fact checked and found to be false". explain that abortions don't happen after live birth! call out the lies.
vance did a total 180 on many things while looking directly at the camera. he's a sociopath. he scares me... he's smart and doesn't care about anything other than personal gain.
Welcome to what Republicans really wanted instead of Trump. Trump is a buffoon, he says the quiet part out loud, and is more of a millstone around the party's neck. But if they could get a Vance - someone who has zero ethics like Trump, likes like Trump, and (most importantly) can rile up the base like Trump - all while maintaining a superficial glaze of acceptability on CNN? They just have to do that once, and then in Trump's words, you'll never have to do an election again.
I smell a conspiracy of a luxury couch corporation wanting to get a contract furnishing the white house.
