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!

Doesn’t matter. He could be comatose and they’d still vote for him.
God-Emperor and all that
It's not about who they're voting for.
It's who they've voting against.
And I can legitimately both sides that one. Two party systems are a fucking cancer. It's not democracy. It's Douglas Adams' lizards.
To summarize the summary of the summary: People are a problem.
Yeah, honestly all the smearing on Trump will not work if the opposition does not offer anything substantive.
You may need to go see what of substance the 'opposition' (usually not the term for the controlling administration so much as its leading competition) has offered. There's a list, but publicizing that list is where this democratic administration truly has sucked.
Not committing an insurrection is pretty good policy IMO.
As opposed to Biden supporters right? LOL....
You realize that most people voting for Biden are just voting against Trump right?
They're voting for turnip...so no they don't understand.
It's not all fear-voting but it looks that way.
The rules never change:
Vote for the candidate who has the best chance of delivering on policy that helps the most people be objectively happy.
Repeat forever
This means people will vote against Mr Trump and for Mr Biden, but only because Biden offers policy that saves money long-term and offers the most objective happiness as per the UN guidelines, and Trump offers none of that.
I love how you "both sides" this one.
Also, yes: as opposed to [democrats]. The approach to power on both parties is different - if we compare just those two - in that the primary attribute shown by the Republicans is loyalty, as in "conservatives fall in line"; whereas the primary attribute by Democrats is skepticism, as "Democrats fall in love".
Each party has used this to their advantage, but any party can shake up the democrats with their angst simply by offering a candidate that seems better than the absolute shitheel the conservatives offer now. Democrats will jump ship if the candidate evaluates well at the start or middle of the term.
Bidens supporters are critical of him, trumps supporters masturbate in the corner staring at a picture of him and Putin shirtless. We’re not the same.
