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!

Would be dope af
Couchfucker wouldn’t be an improvement though
He doesn't have the cult of personality behind him.
True, but his brain also isn’t pudding, and he is an evil mercenary motherfucker. Peter thiel pulls his strings. Of the billionaire class, I feel like Thiel does a shockingly good job of mostly flying under the radar considering how evil and techno-feudalist he is. He’s not a good person to have controlling the presidency by a single layer of abstraction.
Yeah but we would be past all the Trump distraction, we could just hammer on JD and his Thiel connections all day, it's not like old money really likes them, they just like the tax breaks. JD is very unlikeable.
Let's test that theory
I legitimately think he’d be worse, because he has all his mental faculties, and he is an evil mercenary fascist ~~mother~~couchfucker
America will go from invading Greenland to invading the Ottoman empire instead.
Tbh he’d still probably try to invade Greenland
I'm not sure what WOULDN'T be an improvement
Smedley Butler described an election conducted in Nicaragua where an unannounced polling station was opened up for just two hours and select voters were bussed in to vote. We aren't that far away from that.
Colorado has had mail-in voting for years and years. Wouldn't be surprised to see the cons try for having states with mail-in voting that went for Taco continue to have mail-in voting and the blue states punished by NOT having it.
Having something so common sense like being able to fill out a ballot at your complete leisure and then, with zero waiting, either drop it off at a collection location or in a mailbox cannot be overstated. I've voted in places w/o it and have stood in line for nearly an hour in one case, and was hours late to work that day.
The idea that some have to stand in line, for hours, and only have one day to vote, in the supposed best country in the world, is simply absurd.
I'm sure they'll find some way to allow it for just the specific states that would help him because these fuckers don't give a shit about democracy or appearing as being the least bit fair
Another issue with Trump banning mail in voting is how he doesn't have the power to do that but why point that out when mainstream media can keep being fucking worthless instead?
You didn't read it, did you?
I read it and they still treat it like it's a debate if Trump has the power to do this as opposed to an obvious overreach and they don't even memtion it till 3 or 4 paragraphs in.
If any other president did this the title would have words like tyranny in it and the entire article would be dedicated to how it's unprecedented and reprehensible.
Are you new? Did you just wake up from a coma? Trump has been doing things he doesn't have the power to since he got back in. Don't use that as a reason it won't happen.
You are either replying to wrong commemt or you need to reread what I wrote.
