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!

i’m having a real hard time believing that anyone’s actually “on the fence” about whether to vote R or D at this point. i think they’re voting R and just don’t want to say it out loud
They’re called “low information voters”, the common clay of the new West.
You know...morons.
I lol’d
It's from this scene in Blazing Saddles if you weren't aware.
That’s why I lol’d
Gabby Johnson is RIGHT!
The real question at this point is who shows up to the poll booth. I'm not sure how much trump using the n word would depress his turnout or enthuse kamala turnout.
Him saying it out loud would probably make his turnout better, but also enthuse Harris turnout
I think and or hope theres a lot of people who will vote D but dont want their friends and family to know
I will admit, I don’t think we are as “in your face” as the Trumpers are. This is the first time I’ve been vocal. Just got my Cat Ladies for Kamala T-shirt in the mail today. 😻
There's probably a small cohort that would vote for him for tax or regulatory reasons that might get turned off by too much of this crap, but I don't it's electorally significant.
