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!

The fix is in. He's getting set to take over California.
"If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism; they will abandon democracy."
Yep, back in 2016....
- Fuck the GOP forever. And SCOTUS. This country is a shit hole not a democracy.
But the voters are too lazy to go out and vote, or hate having to go out and vote in an election where they will lose on some issues that 'matter' to them.
That tracks.
They didn't win the last one.
I am convinced that they tipped the scales in 2024. I have no evidence, but my gut says they did.
That’s why they’re counting on Lord Feltersnatch to rig the whole election!
They’re gonna be so upset when their gerrymanders, lawsuits, and registration purges don’t end up doing shit. I bet they will try to set something on fire.
I legitimately don't think you are correct, but I hope I'm wrong.
We did that in my country. 30plus years ruling coalition by means of in person cash payouts to the people on the streets, corruption up to the neck, cronyism, nepotism, gerrymandered voting zones, racial and religious divisions on a national policy level, selective prosecution of political opponents etc.
It took the largest national embezzlement scandal ever, a c4 assasination of a model, and the architect of these policies joining the other side to finally get the public to finally sway the voters enough to say 'im done'
But the us voters are a fickle bunch. I doubt enough of them will do it.
We are also a reactionary and violent bunch. So, maybe we’ll free ourselves in some other way.
I wish I shared your optimism. The last 20 years have showed us if anything, leftist and centrists will not show up at the polls or split the vote on third parties. The reason conservatives can be so unpopular nationally but still be in office for decades at a time is because their base shows up when the polls are open. So until the left figures out how to actually vote nothing is going to change, despite the current administration literally running concentration camps and oppression any group that isn't straight white men.
I vote in every election and I believe everyone should, but I also understand that millions and millions of people on the left have yet to see a candidate that actually represents them.
It’s puff up my optimism or lose my shit on a daily basis.
‘Twas always thus.
