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!

His cult followers don't matter. They are long gone and don't give a shit about democracy as long as they get their way.
New voters, undecided voters and swing state voters who don't like him, but didn't care for Biden matter.
Eh, those in your circle of influence might make it so it doesn't matter to you, but I know folks who are on the fence especially after the felony charges.
You do you, convincing the folks you mentioned, and let others do their job.
Those fit into 'Undecided'
And are there conservative leaning undecided?
Any voter who is "on the fence" is an undecided voter.
And you don't think it's worth considering different interpretations of what trump says for them? What defaults them to automatically believing only the most damning interpretation? It seems like anyone who does so is probably a left leaning undecided, there are conservative undecided voters out there.
Because he's literally said similar things OUT LOUD multiple times before. Installing himself as a dictator, arresting political adversaries, publicly executing people he doesn't like, arresting judges and jurors who he doesn't find favorable...
It's very fucking clear what he said. There is no "BUT WHAT HE REALLY MEANT WAS..." talking point to spin this. Hitler and Mussolini used almost verbatim language. Don't be a dope.
You misunderstand, there's no ambiguity on my part, but instead understanding that there are those on the fence who may interpret it differently, and acknowledging that to know how best to respond.
For example, if it was brought up that what he really meant was that it'd be his second term, then the response would be "why wouldn't he want you to vote after his second term?"
