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!

A $5000 fine?
Meanwhile there's the article about the black woman who got 5 years in prison for a provisional ballot when she didn't know she couldn't vote after a felony.
It blows my mind how systemically racist the US is.
Worse than that, she asked and was told by an election official it was ok to vote. Then was arrested and imprisoned.
I believe she was recently released thankfully but damage done.
shes been out on bond most of this time, but the trial did recently end after they found she did not have any intentional or malicious intent in her mistake of voting.
Moral of the story: be white, male, and obedient.
I'm not sure how he was being obedient. He knew he was on felony probation and voted illegally anyway.
He was obedient to the party
its not who you know who you blow.
It's not who you know or who you blow but HOW you blow who you know
this ^ guy knows blows.
LMFAO 🤣
Really it's just "Be White".
*rich
be a white conservative*
Yeah you definitely lose buffer if you're white male and on the left side of the political spectrum.
The holy trinity is white male (good Christian) conservative.
if you are a white christian male, why you even get slaps on the wrists for things as horrific as long term, habitual child molestation and rape.
Skill issue
Yeah, well this guy was white after all and even though he did this with malicious intent, the racist judge and justice system knew deep down he didn't really, really mean to undermine democracy.
Don't you know there is no systemic racism because the laws don't state in their text that they apply to minorities more harshly than white people?
