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!

Mark it... the plan is not to win the election.
The plan is to have enough sycophants in enough states to deny the certification of the elections.
If he can get enough Electoral College votes to be put on hold, the "Election" goes to the House where it's one vote, one state. Republicans have more states in the House.
That would make a lot of us "behead the king" angry, I hope.
I would hope any elections official denying certification for "reasons" is indicted, arrested, tried and jailed.

It's dangerous that the Georgia case was never held before this election. It feels like a very, very bad sign. Our democracy is absolutely in trouble.
I fear most of us would just go to work.
It would go one of two ways. Either everyone would just go back to work, or it would be the straw that finally breaks the wageslave’s back, and we start eating billionaires.
Joe Biden should show us his final form
I mean, he tried this in 2020 and it didn’t work, so here’s hoping it turns out the same (minus the riot). Heck even when he tried to pressure the GOP governor and sec of state of Georgia they had a solid wtf no
I would hope if there was a 2nd riot our police, FBI, maybe even military would come in shooting. And I am sure after Jan 6th, they have a plan this time.
I mean, they had a plan. The plan was to let them in.
Not that the leadership told the beat cops that. Which is why they had shitty bike-rack-style barricades and not modern insurmountable barricades, and didn’t have nat guard on site, but tucked away… just in case; or use dump trucks and humveees as rolling roadblocks.
It’s going to be entirely different this time.
The great thing about these fascists is, they can't stop failing. And they will fail again.
I hope so, buddy.
You say they planned to fail, I say they failed to plan. Potato, tomato.
Hanlon's Razor says I win.
The fake elector scheme was a little different. If they sucessfully fail to certify, that's actually farther upstream than the elector plot.
Even if that is the plan, you might as well try to win the election instead of throwing it. The more votes he receives the more legitimate he can make it look.
Oh, he's not interested in making it look legitimate. The whole point is "you can't trust elections."
