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!

Reports of the republican party's distress are greatly exaggerated.
They still have a death grip on a large large bloc of the country's most reliable and extreme voters.
Yeah they're bickering a little, but they own a) churches and b) cable and radio news.
We are quite literally watching the death of the party. That is why they have turned to policies like gerrymandering and voter suppression that limit people’s ability to vote. They are no longer growing and their ideas are become less popular as time goes on. They will either have to change their platform or continue to dwindle.
We have been saying that for almost 10 years and they now control the supreme Court, the house, one geriatric heart attack away from the Senate and for some fucking reason the next election is gonna be a toss up.
The next election being a toss up is a matter of opinion. As for the other wins you mentioned they can be directly attributed to the tactics I said above, gerrymandering and voter suppression. Most of their platforms policies are not widely supported. Hell, more than 70% of Americans support some form of abortion access and they just gutted that idea. Winning through corruption and shady policies does not mean they are popular.
It does mean they are better at politics than democrats.
Yeah, American Democracy is a game to be won and they are winning. I hate it. We need to rewrite the Constitution, though that will never happen and any document we write will have loopholes that will eventually get abused.
