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!

How long until no one trusts US election integrity anymore?
Republicans say it's rigged when Democrats win. Are Democrats going to start saying it's rigged when Republicans win?
It is rigged. It has been for along time. Gerrymandering, electoral college, voter suppression etc... Also, you really think the 78 year old poll worker has a grasp on any of the systems they're there to help with?
What is it with people being confronted with evidence that republicans stole the election saying "gee are democrats really gonna start acting like trump supporters? you can't just say the election was stolen"
I want Democrats to wake the fuck up, what are you talking about? Why did it take y'all so long? We've been telling you since Bush!
Ah OK, I've heard a lot of people say that because it'll undermine public confidence in the voting system, we shouldn't call it when the right tries to steal elections. Sorry for thinking that's what you meant 🌸
Is there specific evidence for that? "Trump makes odd remarks" could mean he is hinting at something specific and it is true indeed, or could mean he is just lying, or could mean he is just rambling and doesn't comprehend fully himself what he is saying.
It should lead to an investigation, to see if there has been manipulations. Now if Trump blocks an investigation, which is likely, then there should be resistance.
There's been a bunch of stuff people say "should be investigated" yet it mysteriously never gets investigated, and people just pretend that the Stealing Elections Party would never steal an election by acting like everything they do to steal elections happens in a vacuum
As i wrote, if there is no investigation, then that is a strong sign that an investigation is needed. But if we just act on the basis of assuming everything Trump says to be true, well you know where that leads.
Congratulations. You uncovered the evil genius behind the plan that the traitor's handlers (the enemies of the United States) are successfully using to dismantle our election integrity to cement their fascist authoritarian rule.
Bush stole the election in 2000 and y'all acted like it didn't happen.
Negative 10 years.
I hope so
