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!

Yes, many people are racist. No, that doesn’t make it any less reprehensible.
I appreciate all the folks who keep posting the Trump of days past, or what he wants you to think is past.
Wanna know a secret? You can just look up articles about trump from any month in his presidency. He's always doing something disgusting and exhausting.
People were completely tired of his antics by the time COVID hit. That's why he lost: he's boring. I'm just reminding people of how annoying it was to hear a new "trump thinks we should nuke a hurricane" every week.
Go to the polls even if you're not in a swing state. Even if you don't affect anything, it's cathartic to tell him to shut up.
It was wild having to wake up every day wondering what bonkers things the president tweeted at 3am the night before.
Exactly. I had to explain to my brother that you don't need to be excited for his opponent. Everyday Trump was president be debased himself, us, the country, by invading our lives with his lies. Every. Day. No shame. How could you not be compelled to steer away from that. Instead my brother is making excuses.
