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!

Of course his idiot dumbshit supporters all assume they won't be the ones suffering, it'll just be everyone else, and that makes it okay to them.
If Kamala wins, her Dept. of Education should really make a push to make sure that we are teaching fascism and WW2 in schools so people can recognize this shit and stop falling for it.
As a German, I have to sadly tell you that that's not enough.
It's important to teach media literacy and critical thinking too.
I thought critical thinking was communism?
Which makes a solid case for communism.
Yeah, the red states already hamstring k-12 to the point they can't function.
Feds never should have let that happen.
Every single church that made a political endorsement needs to be stripped of its tax exempt status. And audited by the IRS.
Domestic terrorism is being fomented at the ground level in "religious centers," and we've gotta start calling things what they are.
Just frame it as “Muslim” and the right will get it done for you. They do love voting against their own interests.
They don't understand that rooting for them, doesn't make them part of the team.
They don't understand that Donald Trump loathes them
They’ll just be told to blame everyone else for their suffering, just like they have been for decades now. It’s all going to be heaped on the same old tired bogeymen: illegals, libs, the nebulous educated elite, etc.
"The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them."
don't be silly, of course the leopards will only eat other people's faces.

"He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting"
It is far more than okay with them when the right people are suffering hardships. They would elect the most overtly corrupt person to ever exist and destroy the country just to make sure the right people get hurt.
They just did elect that person
