Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Prospective hires say agreeing with Trump’s false election claim appears to be a new litmus test for being hired by the party

This is the type of thing you do after you have obtained and locked in your power. Not when you're about to lose the House and have already lost the Senate and are likely to lose the presidential election.

So please continue, GOP. Show the country what you're made of (MAGA sycophants/pro-insurrectionists/traitors). Not only that but keep it up! Don't ever change, even after Trump is broke and rotting away in prison.

Change is for liberals!

Maybe the Democrats will get a supermajority in the Senate and actual governing can take place.

I would love to believe that the GOP losing the Senate and White House were likely.

Just vote. Don't "believe" anything until it's over with.

Trump is currently campaigning as hard as he can, while Biden is just doing normal Presidential things and taking a lot of flak for it. Trump has no money to spend on his campaign and few big donors. His supporters are not likely to grow.

The Democratic Party is building a GOTV apparatus in swing states to prevent a Hillary sized fuckup (this was the real problem, not conservative Cubans in FL). Trump is spending all the Republicans' money on legal fees.

Just vote. I think Trump is going to bomb in November and everyone will say "of course! It was obvious! He had no money and was distracted by legal issues!"
