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.

good thing elections are run by the states then
They're trying to fix that too; don't worry
in only a couple of months? when the entire republican establishment hates the guy? when his entire cabinet is incompetent cronies selected for loyalty and not expertise? when they can't even get the save act passed? and get rid of mail in voting? all of which primarily hurt rural voters? when we're looking at a dummymander in texas because all of trump's gains with latino voters are long gone now? when republicans in congress are screaming about a "bloodbath" at midterms? when legislators' terms end jan 20 2027, so even if red states cancel elections, their term as legislators ends and you end up with a bunch of vacancies in congress? when blue states still held elections and suddenly congress is all blue?
what you're describing would call for a constitutional amendment or a 50 state conspiracy so grand and organized that it would never happen in a million years. republicans can't even agree on the save act, the house rewrites it and thune says it's dead in the water. and even if they try to push it through, they'd need to end the filibuster, which thune says he won't do, which by the way, would only help democrats when they get back in power, just like with the nationwide injunction ruling.
this whole line about elections being rigged is very silly. the way you people talk about it sounds like you want elections to be rigged. trump is a demented orangutan, but somehow capable of a grand conspiracy with only slim margins in congress, when the republican establishment doesn't even like him, and has consistent dissenters on the republican side. and the courts are functioning pretty much the same as they were under biden. and he wasn't able to stop the 2025 elections, nor any of the special elections, all of which democrats are gaining by double digit points in every election.
demoralization is a form of anti-democratic propaganda you know.
