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!

Polls in August never "spell doom" for anyone, but especially when the other candidate has only been in the race for 3 weeks. There is no certainty that the poll numbers will maintain as people learn more about the candidates.
But there's something very good about these articles: MAGAts like strength or what they think strength is and articles talking about humiliation are not helpful for Trump.
Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies is looking like he's out of gas and his running mate is a fucking clown. They're in deep shit. Everyone has a vote, and everyone needs to vote! Volunteer to help those that wouldn't be able to vote without assistance.
All of those except maybe "out of gas" were true when he was up by 5 points everywhere.
Don't believe polls, they don't mean anything. Go out and vote. It's not over till it's over. Otherwise we risk things going tits up again.
I think knowing that I will be undermining JD Vance (and Trump, of course) will be a gigantic motivator for me.
This will be even better than the first time I voted against him
Yes, the good guys need to win overwhelmingly to overcome the bad guys cheating.
It's not fair, but that's the system we have right now.
Doom is overstating things, especially with the fucking electoral college in the US and election shenanigans afoot in Georgia. Don't lose focus!
