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!

Yeah, Hilary's super secret brainwashing technique that she chose not to use in her own election bid. Keep the conspiracies coming.
Well, according to another Trump conspiracy theory, Hillary got a million illegal immigrants to vote for her in California which is why he lost the popular vote. So somehow she was able to get a million people to illegally vote without leaving any evidence and she decided to have them all vote in safe blue California instead of within swing states.
And he lost by 2.9 million so even if you double it he still lost. He also did that 'were gonna find out about those illegal votes' and asked for voter info. Every state responded with no that's illegal and we never heard about it until he lost again. Why would I vote for someone that can't even protect my right to vote when they're president? Or a weak ass party that can't get anything done against a powerful party that can cheat and get away with it?
Trump actually formed a commission to turn up evidence of illegal voting. Their plan was to show that Democrats were illegally voting. Only, the evidence showed that most illegal voting came from Trump supporters voting twice - and even then it wasn't enough to make a difference in any race.
We're talking about a dozen or so nationwide and all easily caught. Because, surprise surprise, it turns out that it's hard to vote illegally and NOT get caught. It's orders of magnitude harder to vote illegally at a scale where it affects an election result without getting caught.
Instead of releasing their findings, Trump's election commission decided to just disband themselves. This way, Trump could claim that there was still fraud without his own commission saying otherwise.
