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

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!

When RFK Jr. first came out into mainstream media running for this election, he was captivating. But as he was gaining traction, he started to open up about a few things that simply don't align with me / my principles.
RFK Jr. defended MLK Jr. getting wiretapped. So he supports violating the 4th Amendment. Big fkin nono in my book. He supports Israel (but so too do most politicians in the U.S. - Zionists) - so his moral compass is skewed. RFK Jr.'s VP choice is questionable, apparently she aligns with Marxism. She had an affair with Elon Musk apparently? At least that's the accusation made by her ex-husband. She has no honor, no integrity, she's someone that cannot be trusted, quite frankly. That is, if it's true that she's had an affair. And I know, many people in general are cheaters. I don't trust liars/hypocrites. She has a record of donating to radical leftists/democrats (marxists/communists/socialists) His VP - Nicole Shanahan apparently thinks IVF is a scam.
IVF may have a low success rate, but it's not a scam. If the technology existed and it was 100% fail rate, then yes, I'd agree.. it would be a scam - people would be throwing their money away and getting their hopes up for nothing.
Anyway, we're left with three candidates. One candidate needs living assistance. One candidate has an alignment or association with the far left which I feel is a threat to our constitution. One candidate became president and in the 4 years he served, he did more for our country. Huge boom in new jobs, big income boost (I personally was positively impacted by this and it was great bringing home nearly $10k per month after taxes. I now make about half of that). The middle class was flourishing.
Biden and Co. likes to tell people about all these new jobs, yet it's been discovered that platforms like LinkedIn, has been displaying large numbers of, "ghost jobs"... fake job postings to make it seem like there's a plethora of companies in the U.S. hiring, when they're not. All we keep hearing about is layoffs, especially in large companies. Under Trump, finding a job, interviewing and getting the job was a breeze. I had interviews lined up, I had job offers in my favor... Biden takes presidency, I get laid off 1 year later and spend just over 6 months applying to over 1000 posted jobs just on LinkedIn alone, I have the LinkedIn response emails as proof. That's not even including CareerBuilder, Indeed, Monster etc..
I have absolutely NO confidence in Biden and Co. and quite frankly find him and his allies all enemies of the American people. They are liars, deceivers, transgressors and oppressors. All of which as been witnessed by the world.
IMO, the entire governments of the U.S. (local, state, federal) needs a thorough cleansing.
Edit: This is not to offend anyone.. This is just my opinion and I know majority will disagree with my pov. Don't worry I won't be butt hurt nor should you.
