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!

Check voter registration here.
If you live in a swing state, check it weekly to make sure you won't be scrubbed by the Republicans and make sure your information is up to date.
If you need to register, MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW EVERYTHING TO A GOD DAMN LETTER. They will do everything to make sure they can toss your vote.
Practice your signature over and over. This will be the key part in tossing out your vote if you vote by mail. Make sure it matches.
I forgot to add that EVEN IF YOU DONT LIVE IN A SWING STATE CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION OFTEN. Don't put it past Republicans to attempt to scrub your vote to keep state houses.

This has been sorta true for a long time, but it’s never been more true than now. The orange sociopathic rapist felon has mindwiped enough republiQans to cause fuckery in every state.
A little bird told me the local fascists are passing around the signup sheet for “poll watching” last week.
Shitty Life Pro Tip: Register as Republican to protect yourself from voter role purges by Republicans. Registration of party places no limits on who or what you can vote in the general election.
It can affect which primaries you can vote in though, so keep that in mind.
Who checks that you are only registered with one party?
At least in my state it doesn't even effect that. When you go to vote in the primary, you declare what party's ballot you want to use. So if you want the other party's ballot, simply state that then and you'll vote for the other party's primary candidates.
That might explain why my shithole battleground state suddenly bounced my DL change of address over a “signature capture” despite it being apparently perfectly fucking fine for a Real ID application last year.
Yes that would probably be the reason.
