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!

He's correct in the sense that he knew full well what he was doing.
I sense hubris in MAGA these days. As public opinion slowly turns against them they fail to see that it's nod just "mad libruls" anymore. I hope this will be their downfall rather sooner than later.
That's why they're threatening to post ICE⚡Staffel outside polling places...
Don't expect it. We still need to get an aggressive populist reform alternative if we are to have any chance of unseating The Party, which is in control now, and fully intent on fixing elections with seemingly little to stop them, outside the 15 states they are targeting anyway and even those they have ins to cheat, can send alternate electors, there is a lot of avenues here.
This is and has been an existential threat that needed some urgency on our part to put forth a viable alternative to win over voters. We all know they don't know all of this. We all know the same old strategies and running as status quo will not win, not reliably if at all and if we do win than like with Biden we do nothing and hand it right back.
Even if your one goal was saving the republic to have honest elections, and did not care to restore any of the glory of the country stolen by the super rich in our life times, these democrats would fail to do that. We need real popular aggressive leadership, outside the party if we have to wait to get inside, and we need it now.
