For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Felt like it was winding down in the closing days of 2016, too. Go vote! I already did, you can, too.

Way, way ahead of you. I voted a while ago, and peer pressured one family member into also voting early to avoid whatever happens tomorrow.

Done and spoken like a true patriot.

Only because voting ends tomorrow night, not because his behavior drove away his base.

A reporter is drawing a lot of conclusions from attending a single rally that he found boring.

Nah they're touching on what I see too. I'm in PA which feels like THE battle ground state the last few elections.

2016 Trump mania was everywhere it was obvious he was gonna win. 2020 was a good amount he still lost. This time I hardly see shit within the last week maybe but that to me is an extreme desperate push and I think most voters made their decision a while ago.

Nobody is saying don't vote but I think dumbo burned all his fuel two elections ago, I don't think he's got even a fraction of the hype he had when he lost the second time.

Boys toast imo

I just voted. I want to believe what you are saying is true.

I hope they run him again in four years

If people get out and vote, 4 years from now he's going to be in whatever the prison version of hospice care is. In his few coherent moments he'll be raging about everyone betraying him and how orange spray tan would never have cost 3 packs of cigarettes and a handjob under his administration.

I hope he has an Ebenezer Scrooge moment and changes his life to be more fitting, and that he walks away from politics like it's a casino he just bankrupted or a worker that wants to get paid for the work they've done for him.

Nice to find another fan :) The last song is one of my favorites.
