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!

Idea 💡: Biden tells people he will show up for a speech, with or without Trump present.
Say that Trump will refuse to show up, bc he's too weak and pathetic. Use those exact words.
Trump doesn't show = profit.
Or if Trump does show, doing his usual falling asleep during talky talk, then profit even moar!
Most likely Trump will try to do the identical thing in reverse, but everyone would see that Biden did it first.
Nah he'd get drugs for that. Someone pointed out the Adderall shortage lines up with Trump's sudden constant non ability to stay awake. He might have to resort to cocaine though, so we may get some random rants about wanting to have sex with his daughter again
Where have you been the past 10 years? Half the country just sees what Fox "News" tells them.
Everyone who matters(TM)
The Magats are a lost cause, but the like 2-3 centrists in the Midwest who control our entire nation at this point due to the Electoral College system (and Dems refusal to do anything once elected) might be persuaded this way?
Also, now I just want to see it done regardless of utility. 😎
Those people are fictional, just a narrative neoliberals make up to try to excuse their abject refusal to let the Democrats move left to actually get more votes.
There is no magical silent majority of leftists.
The way I see it, which would be dumber: if they existed, or not? So yeah, they probably exist:-P. And they are needlessly used as excuses.
But the main excuse ofc is that is simply how the game is played. It seems like it would be wise for us to wake up and realize that, but we are all too self-absorbed as a society.
that and farcebook. It sure explains for the current polls.
