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!

Oh please do.

I will fucking bet you he does it and the numbers drop after it happens. In fact I have this bet already, but I'll make it again.

Do you think he’d swap back, or find some new guy?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (1 children)

after some dumb shit? Bruh idk. This election season so fucking off the rails.

But I owe some one twenty bucks if the following doesn't happen:

Trump swaps out Vance as VP and the resulting polling is lower.

If that does happen, I will much more than 20 bucks.

Is there a time frame involved? Like..if the polling goes up in the first week and then falls off a cliff after brain worm guy opens his mouth?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

No time frame. I'd need way better odds than what I got to put a timeline on it.

Idk, I think I’d see trump numbers up after that. RFK jr is going appeal to the fringe libertarian…especially considering the orange turd’s health and age

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

he tried to cozy up to the libertarians and they rejected him for not being very libertarian at all

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bet? $20?

Last person gave me 100 to one on the parlay that he both swaps out the VP nomination AND when that is done, his poll numbers go down.

So if you believe what you said, my $20 is free money.

All bets are off at this point imo, this shit has been going in what ever way the wind blows. Although, I would bet on a Kamala presidency 🤞if everyone votes
