Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

It's pretty clear that the American people are going to be the victims if he holds power again.

Too bad the MAGA crowd considers this a checklist of promises kept.

People haven't learned yet. Everybody knows Trump's lies. His racism. His misogyny. His crimes. There is literally nobody in the country left to convince one way or the other. He is held to a completely different standard by literally everybody up to and including the Supreme Court. He commits acts on the daily that would end anyone else's political career several times over. But people just. don't. care. And attempting to do so at this point is literally trying to play chess with a pigeon. They're just going to knock all the pieces over, shit on the board, strut around like they won, and then fly away the minute you so much as flinch at them.

There are exactly three types of people in this country:

  • People who know about Trump's lies, crimes, and bigotry and have been shouting it from the rooftops for years now.
  • People who know about Trump's lies, crimes, and bigotry, or at least heard from other people who have been shouting about it from the rooftops, and are saying "Look, we know about that stuff. We don't care. We want it that way."
  • People who know about Trump's lies, crimes, and bigotry and are just saying they're "undecided" because they either don't like talking politics with friends and family, or just want whatever idiot is pestering them about it to go the fuck away.

It's nice to have these lists all in once place for convenience. But at this point, nobody's convincing anybody of anything.

I agree that there's very little convincing to do at this stage — right now it's about turnout. Having these in one place like this can emphasize the importance of voting to stop Trump and help make sure people vote.

Just 40? I feel like there’s got to be an order of magnitude more than that from over the years.

[–] silence7 4 points 2 days ago

There are probably more, but by the time you're at 40, it's enough to make the point that it's a pretty steady drumbeat.
