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!

The increasingly hopeless presidential candidate is now clinging to a weird right-wing meme in the hopes of winning over the misogynistic-sociopath vote.

That video is so fucking bizarre. It's like someone hired a bunch of 4chan incels and edgelords to do his PR.

I was gonna say, "demented high school project", but that's the same thing as what you said.

The pretty boys and oiled-up muscle men being associated with Ron DeSantis make him look, well, kinda gay?

As terrified as I am of the outcome of 2024 I'm looking forward to the Republican primaries.

But now I regret this comment because it inspired me to look up the declared candidates and I noticed Ron DeSantis' age... motherfucker is the same age I am. How's a motherfucker get so wrong in the same 44 years as me?

Did you torture dogs as a toddler?

Not just wrong… but also politically successful?

(For the record, the answer is “psychopathy”)

Is he really a hopeless candidate? Misogynist-sociopaths seem to have been making a comeback lately. Trump's chances in the primaries would be weakened if convicted. Biden's health hasn't gotten any better, and he has always been a weak, uninspiring politician.
