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!

Yet tankies will still continue to focus their vitriol on Platner...
Everything Harris or Biden related: "genocide is genocide!" "There's no such thing as a little genocide!"
Everything Platner: "what's genocide? He has a tattoo!"
All others in Democratic party (and Bernie somehow): "controlled opposition!"
They are absolutely terrified of Platner taxing them aren't they?
I think that tells us all we need to know.
I wonder if they're feeling what we felt with Trump where no matter how many truths we told about his scandals he kept going. The difference this time is that it's democrats and republicans lying and trying to manufacture scandals, but it's not slowing him down.
Hell yeah Maine, tax those terrorists!
billionaires who made their money in alternative investments, including hedge funds and private equity."
Wut. Since when are hedge funds alternative investments?
They're alternative to any investments we're allowed to make. All we can do is stick our money in the bank for .5% interest with inflation over 4%, or toss our money into the stock market whirlpool for the wealthy to swallow.
I listened to her talk. She’s geriatric AF.

The list it sources says 97 for her and 5 for the opponent.
Let them waste their money. And when the Dems take it all back, let's investigate and audit the fortunes of every one of those 97 Sociopathic Oligarchs, and see how many end up in prison, along with their family members.
She's been strongly pro-war all along and that is a huge money making venture.
Her fucking husband is a lobbyist whose job before that was as a lobbyist for weapons manufacturers.
Before all that, he was her mentor in politics, in case you wondered if every goddamn Republican was grooming someone at some point.
A traitor to the United States of America.
Does Stephen King's recommendation carry any weight? Has he made a statement regarding this? Maybe he's smart to stay out of it.
& none of “em wanna see her nekkid.
