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!

Being a loud obnoxious twatwaffle ≠ confidence
He's got the confidence of a frat bro. He talks clearly, loudly, and quickly.
Ramaswamy is dangerous. He's not going to win this election, but the fact that he's gotten so much attention is dangerous. I remember at the beginning, during the first GOP debates, he was all smiles and positivity. His poll numbers started going down and now the last interview I saw with him he starts being aggressive and yelling. I think he's trying to go the angry dictator route now and it's a bad sign that these types of politicians are getting attention.
Fascism is right around the corner
It is to his base. He knows how to sell to them.
He definitely does. At each debate, he continuously strings together right wing buzzwords like "woke" and "Russia hoax" into incoherent paragraphs and every time he says a new buzzword, the audience applauds.
They really are the dumbest people.
But have you heard me rap like a 12yo white boy from the suburbs?
No, but I’d like to….
A burdensome gift for you.
Nope, not clicking on that.
But it rhymes with cake
Aaannndddd… I regret asking.
