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!

Seriously, just how deep does the cult programming go that it takes SO MUCH for cons to even SAY that they won't vote for this monster?

And, FFS, why do they have to be so cagey about it? Most of them either say they are going wait and see, etc., or that they'll vote third party. That's not really better. They need to come right out and say it - tiny d is a monster and supporting him is supporting fascism and they are voting Democratic.

Yeah… I wouldn’t vote for a rapist either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Okay so weirdly enough that seems like one of the least bad things he has done.... Yeah I don't know where to go with that thought either.

That’s the disqualification??? lol. Republicans are just handmaidens for fascism at this point. Democrats are handmaidens for oligarchy. And before anyone jumps in to defend some of Biden’s very good pro labor positions/policies/staff selections; yes, I know. But if the NLRB is dismantled by the SC, all of it will be for nothing.

You can definitely trust a Republican to do what they said they would /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I mean if he publicly says he wouldn’t vote for Trump but then actually does, that would be a hell of a lot more beneficial for Biden than saying he supported Trump and then secretly not voting for him.

Well, only after they've checked out of politics. Romney was republican tumor in the colon of the government that decided to detach and get shit out. If tumors this large are just deciding to fall out, this is beyond stage 4.

Guys in this thread are expecting too much from a headline and too much from what was probably a casual interview while walking to a meeting.

You can always count on Mitt Romney to uphold the bare minimum standards of ethics.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

... Most of the time. Okay, at least some of the time. Which gives him an overwhelming lead against the entire rest of the Republican pack who are aggressively opposed to the concept of ethics in general

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Have you heard of the All-American prophet? The blonde-haired, blue-eyed voice of God!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

I hate that I have to say the bare minimum ethics is the gold star standard for republicans right now.
