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!

Would be strangely hilarious if Elon was fleecing don for favors (can't be for money, c'mon, he has it and Donnie has none) and inflating his ego and hopes for reelection while secretly working for the Dems.
I wouldn't believe it for a second, but I'd be happy if it happened.
Anyone know where to join Elon's effort? If you're telling me I could be paid to walk around neighborhoods doing nothing while taking Elon's money and negatively effect Trump's canvassing... that sounds like a great hobby for a few weeks.
I have no problem with this
Fuck yeah! Who would have guessed a party for grifting greedy assholes would be filled with grifting greedy assholes!? Never in a million years would I have guessed that!!
I'm so shocked that I'm questioning reality, major life decisions, my sexual orientation, ALL OF IT.
A family member has received what we regard as spam texts with political polling questions. She doesn't reply to any of them. One of them said, after asking her if she would vote for Harris, (paraphrasing) "If you don't reply, that counts as a No."
🤨
I don't know if it's polling fraud or garden variety phishing stuff, but it's something.
Those are just designed to get you to click the link which ultimately leads to an "opportunity" to donate to the campaign. It's just standard political marketing trash, nothing truly nefarious.
Hit Block and choose Report Spam. Those "polls" are the not-matteringest of all. And yes, probably phishing as well.
An unusual activity report on the Campaign Sidekick app is auto-generated when a survey is filled out by a canvasser some distance from the location of the target voter’s home. The app has built-in tolerances and generates an unusual survey report after taking into account several factors, such as how quickly the canvasser at issue is supposedly hitting doors and if the responses are recorded more than 100ft away from the target door.
Sounds mostly reasonable.
a person familiar with the America Pac operation said: “Sidekick was never expected to handle the auditing of America Pac’s door operation.
Sounds like they didn't expect Sidekick's audits and therefore didn't fake-proof their data enough.
Or to be conspiratorial ‘We visited all these homes and they all said they would vote for Trump. Since the vote doesn’t match our canvassing, voter fraud. ‘
I love this for his campaign
Grifters getting grifted? Great stuff
This is the problem with being full of shit. You’ll magnetically attract people to your organization that are also full of shit, and then somehow when it’s you on the receiving end, it’s not so much fun anymore, is it?
