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!

This guy has a mix of great policies mixed with actual crazy, I hope he fades into obscurity
Great policies like what
I just looked him up. He's hyper religious and anti-"woke". He is an out of touch billionaire. He's everything Republicans want. Too bad his skin tone is so dark, he'll never make it past prelims.
Wow your right the website I originally pulled up was flat out lying saying he was anti billionaire etc.
Well it’s the GOP, some something to do with being a Nazi I would imagine (not that that’s a great policy, just saying that pretty much their thing)
I looked up his main platform goals.
Destroying public education by abolishing the department of education and banning teacher unions. Disenfranchising young voters because they don't lean conservative, and allowing blatant discrimination again by getting rid of all affirmative action laws.
Oh yeah, the disenfranchising young voters would also implement a sort of literacy test.
He also seems to really hate Lyndon Johnson, not for starting the Vietnam War, but for passing the civil rights act.
He's claimed (repeatedly) that black people were instantly fine after the civil war because they had the Second Amendment and guns, which is just wrong on every count.
Vivek is a bit too brown skinned for the KKK, but he sure does love their policies.
He's got some other dogshit policy ideas, like solving climate change by burning more fossil fuels, and the standard right wing nonsense of banning speech he doesn't like in the name of "fighting wokism"
The entire campaign seems to be an attempt to funnel money from said campaign to himself, while also promoting his shitty book on how he loves capitalism so much that he wants to prevent companies from making cynical "woke" PR efforts that help them do a capitalism.
Doesn’t he believe that we should stand up to China by letting them invade Taiwan in the near future, which is idiotic at best?
