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!

“Independents” don’t really exist anymore. There are non-voters, and people who won’t admit they’re Republican.
What's truly "stunning" is that so many people actually thought he was going to better on the economy, in the first place.
Lots of people somehow hadn't heard that he sent casinos into bankruptcy four times.
A guy I work with actually cited that as proof that he was smart, since he actually walked away free and clear after making a ton of money off the deal. Apparently, even bankruptcies are considered "successful" now.
And that guy almost gets it... trump is successful at burning everyone else and walking away with the money. Which is exactly what he's doing with the presidency.
He isn't a successful businessman, he is a successful conman. Idiots can't tell the difference.
He is making the classic mistake of thinking that he would be Trump in this scenario, and not the casino employee who lost their job
Even more stunning is how many people think the midterms are either going to be A. Honest and free or B. Change a goddamn thing
Midterms, like all elections, are run by the states. The states will be sending their elected leaders to Washington next year. I'm confident that the midterms in my state will be honest and free.
