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!

You're missing the trick. The supposition here is that they're creating a false polling narrative to buttress their eventually allegations of election fraud. This will feed directly into another coup attempt.
I see the trick... but if all these polls are being falsely produced because Trump is actually ten points behind Harris and it's inconceivable that he could win... well, they'll still try and cheat the election but I'd much rather live in that universe rather than what seems to be our universe where the American people legitimately can't decide between a treasonous, narcissistic, felon and someone... not those things.
It'd really restore my faith in reality if most people actually saw Trump for what he is... I know they'll still try and steal the election even if Trump literally only gets five votes in the election and all of them are from people with the last name Trump but it's genuinely disturbing how close to fascism we are not even a century after giving the last batch of fascists a right trouncing.
It's worse than even that imo. I think even if he wins we'll see a coup attempt, because he's not playing the same game, he's trying to end the republic
Absolutely, when he beat Clinton in 2016 his infantile little bitch of an ego simply could not accept that he lost the popular vote. Remember those years of
I may have paraphrased a bit but that's a pretty accurate summary of literally any press conference in his first year in office. Note to performer, please read the part of Donald as a Skaven.
I wpuld normally call such comparisons unkind but the fact of the matter is the Skaven are just as bad as Trump. Actually maybe he is worse than them since at least they are good at some things, plus they have Thanquil.
They're evil, but they're actually intelligent, unlike certain former presidents...
Somewhat intelligent, their evil has a strong tendency towards fucking them over and making them real stupid. Which admittedly is probably what the great horned rat wants.
Apt, considering he's trying to ratfuck the election
Problem is we stopped a couple countries that went full tilt, but left it to fester and didn't hold the enablers to account.
They can try. They have fewer levers to get there this time. Biden won't just sit there without calling the National Guard.
