Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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'm genuinely unsure if RFK is any more likeable or relatable than Vance. He's funnier at least, but I don't think Trump needs another laughing stock rn...

Think of all the extra money they will make selling the new merch.

I suspect Trump will attempt to swap his vicepresident candidate, but with Tucker Carlson. His base has been getting brainwashed by Tucker for decades, and Tucker Carlson has definitely been getting propped up for something like this. RFK Jr and Vance are red herrings in comparison.

That they would wait to do so until technically they have to be denied is just another way to attempt to stoke a flame they desperately need, because they know that the popular vote isn't with them. The candidate must be an extra spicy ~~insurrectionist~~ revolutionary, and Tucker fits that role far better.

It's a COUP and ILLEGAL for DEMOCRATS to Swap their Candidate before they even have one but it's TOTALLY FAIR AND LEGAL for REPUBLICANS to do that AFTER they've been Decided Voted on and Confirmed!

It's projection, it always is.

So swap out the couch fucker for the brain worms guy? LOLOLOL.

RFK seems like the kinda guy who'd have fucked a couch in a drug-addled stupor once or twice

Just met my kid's teacher! She is trans and I would vote her for president. Also on the radio there was an ad about legal help for people in their 90s with care. Just pay the legal fee and all is good. But 🤔, people older than retirement age aren't that abundant. So it's a mystery how we ended up with two of the oldest candidates ever.
