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!

This doesn't change how important it will be to vote
But damn. I went from worried about a trump reelection to just enjoying watching him crash and burn.
Agreed on the voting, but I have to wonder if they are really that upset with him, or a few rabble rousers at truthsocial made just enough of a splash to be noticed.
And are they so upset they won't vote for him? Time and time again it seems clear that with Republicans the answer is always "nah."
hoping for a domino effect when he inevitably attacks his own followers for being disloyal and daring to question his i'm the most bravest person since jesus narrative
And keeping in mind much of the fediverse is very "US left" so if you're seeing a bunch of anti-Trump news articles everyday, you'd be as deluded of the actual position as someone seeing a bunch of anti-Harris shit in their feeds all day. Especially since many users don't actually read anything but the headlines as they scroll.
Yeah that's kinda true, but I did peek at /r/conservative yesterday and it's not that there is a feed of articles there similar to the sort of thing we have here but with opposing views, it's mostly empty tripe as far as I can tell. Once again the "both sides" argument (not that this was your intent I think) doesn't really stand up to scrutiny.
after years of total cow-like compliance I’ll take any crack in the wall
I'll stop worrying when Harris is sworn in as President. It's clear that Trump and his "sleeper cells" aren't going to stand by and simply hope the election falls their way.
same, but also enjoying the conspicuous silence from pro-trump family and acquaintances
The New Republic can tell you how beltway and NYC libs feel. They're not very credible for any other group. Their only data point for this story is 400 retweets of "trumpisacoward" on truth social.
I wasn’t always a Harris fan. But she inspires confidence. We can win this and put that traitor in prison, where it belongs.
