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!

Wow, Swift broke Orange Voldemort!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

The irony is that Trump forced Swift to speak up after the fake AI endorsement. Swift would have remained publicly neutral.

What he really wanted to say was: "I am envious of Taylor Swift!"

I still think it's funny that this is being treated as a full-blown endorsement. She said she is voting for Harris, then encouraged people to be politically informed and to vote...

Oh...maybe Republicans don't want people to be politically informed or to vote...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How is it not a full blown endorsement? She has publicly stated that she is voting for her, and gave a host of reasons why. Quite literally and explicitly an endorsement. What more needs to be done for it to be a full endorsement? Does she need to say "don't think and vote like I say"? Because that's what it sounds like you are saying that by telling people to get informed, that makes this less of an endorsement.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I typically see an endorsement as saying "I am voting for this person, and you should too."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Anyone who makes Americans actually think about the elections and the choices they have and who makes them vote is basically putting out an endorsement for Harris.

If Trump wants to find out if Swift can rhyme "orange" then he should absolutely keep attacking her. I'm pretty sure there's gotta be like three people in the world you could figure it out legitimately, and she could be one of them. Or she could afford to hire someone who could.

That orange tinge, it makes me a little unhinged; maybe my views are a little fringe but I just don't like his cringe.

bruh, do you want to get a song written about you? Because this is how you get a song written about you. The song will go on looooong after you’re dead. tread lightly.

My lady sent me a message about it, he apparently tweeted it at 7am. So she sent me her lyrics: "

You are somebody that I don't know

But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón

And I'm just like, "Damn!

It's 7 AM"

Say it in the street, that's a knock-out

But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out

And I'm just like, "Hey!

Are you OK?"
