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!

Do you guys think there is still a chance that Trump gets elected again?
Don't you? If anyone doubts he has a chance, you're not scared enough.
Holy shit, now you really scared me 😳
I'm fucking terrified we're on our way to the Idiocracy 4th Reich.
the hard pill to swallow is we arent even as good as Idiocracy
at least in Idiocracy the authorities listened to the "expert" and solved the systemic issues.
He's been avoiding the debates. His rallies are basically a greatest hits from 2016, even though he was president already and could have fixed those things. he's now using dictator language to dehumanize the opposition so his thugs will be more likely to use violence. All this and he's leading the Republican race. He'll run from prison because the Republicans are purely for power now and clearly won't relinquish it next time.
They've been maneuvering, bribing, and putting cronies in places of power for 70 years. They learned from the Civil War that you can't just fight openly. They used the Civil rights movement to bolster support. Obama was also used to bolster some more.
They own the Supreme Court, the governorship, they're cementing the house through gerrymandering, the senate favors Republicans along with the electoral college.
The state can't defend itself when you are the state. Sherman was right, we should have kept on burning.
Yes, it's still america
People asked similar questions in 2016. Right up to election day.
If the results of the trials done disqualify him, then yes this is his beer hall putsch. We're about to get a dictator if we don't have a blue army voting in droves.
We should all be very afraid.
Any chance at all? Maybe. But the obvious thing I don't see many comments about is that he cannot gain supporters, only lose them.
Every single poll has him winning the general election in 2024.
Are you serious? 😳
Polls conducted by cold calling people on the phone. Think about the type of people who answer those calls and have 15 minutes to spare to answer questions.
Even my neighbor whos in her 80s doesn't do that.
When I did polls over the phone I dreaded the political polls the most because they were 30 minutes long and if they didn't get finished then I got into trouble. Generally, 10-15 minutes is when I would be asked how much longer it would take. I didn't want to tell the (full) truth so I would say that it would be a bit longer. Sometimes I would tell the full amount. A few people would be okay with it but some chewed me out.
The Jiffy Lube ones were only 5 minutes.
