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!

I don't think there's a hard requirement of having a running mate. In fact, it would probably be much more appropriate. In totalitarian environments, as soon as you cut the head off the snake, and the power vacuum is created, it won't really matter who the VP is as it will be an internal war anyway.
Maybe they should have a Battle Royale over it. Just make sure they don't have any crayons to stick up their noses - they should stick to lethal weapons.
[Steven Cheung] also described the Republicans … as “bottom-feeding parasites” who “do nothing more than to leech of [sic] drama and fake news because they have to disassociate themselves from their sad, miserable existence.”
Is that how this quoting thing works? 😁
Yep, you did it correctly!
Me, 2024.
No. Don't. Stop.
JD Vance is a terrible person but it would be funny to see Marco Rubio change his address just to not get picked.
Whats wrong with the puppy killer? I thought Trump liked her.
Good. Let them eat each other alive.
On the Brink of civil war, that's for sure.
These people have such a hard-on for a civil war. Anytime anything doesn’t go exactly their way, their first response is “let’s call for the bloodiest conflict in US history again!”
This has got to be some terminal state of being an ammosexual
