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!

So jealous... 🤣
I’m blown away that people believe trump somehow is cleaning the swamp. Like yes, the convicted fraudster who appointed his kids White House positions where they made hundreds of millions and the guy who forced the White House to use his own hotels and resorts… that’s the guy who is above corruption and will end corruption politics.
What a butthurt press secretary.
DC is the only place she could have possibly won that they can be like "actually fuck that place" haha. Trump got 5% of the vote there in the 2020 general election.
Which is why they won’t let DC have electoral votes, even though it has a third more residents than Wyoming.
Well DC has exactly 3 electoral votes per the 23rd amendment, it doesn't have any Senators or Congressmen.
Only 2k votes?! Seems pretty low for a city the size of DC
Well, DC is pretty strongly blue. The votes in the Democratic Primary add up to something like 100,000. Plus whatever other parties have a presence.
DC usually votes 90%+ for the Dem in the general
True!
Seems turnout increased between 2020 (1,559) and 2024 (2.,030).

The guy under indictments for a multitude of corrupt acts is still going on about “the swamp”?
