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 fucking hilarious when someone named "Gómez" tries to simp for republican nazis.

It's like, honey, you may not be the first one on the train, but they got a seat for you lol

This right here. Anyone who is a Republican but not a billionaire is just putting off their own demise. Once they have taken everything from minorities they will come for the rest.

It is however a classic trope. Being "one of the good ones," affords certain privileges until is doesn't. It is also absolutely a despicable card to play.

They think it's worth the gamble to grab power, influence, and money until the whole thing comes crashing down.

Get your guns, beans, gasoline. Because even if Harris wins, this won't fix the problems, only delay them another 4 years. Better prepare for what is to come eventually.

It's so obvious too, really frustrating.

This is what I tell my Jewish Republican friend. Like bro, what do you think they mean when they ramble about George Soros?

There's a surprising amount of Latin American trump supporters. They're either naturalized or children of naturalized citizens who get mad at undocumented immigrants for not doing it "the right way" so his rhetoric appeals to them in that regard at least.

I’m Mexican, my fuckin’ family is full of them. It is disgusting and a disgrace to my grandparents who immigrated here in the early 1900s. My grandpa was a union carpenter as well. It’s like spitting on their graves for their children to call themselves conservatives.

that's what Catholicism and lack of education gets you. destroy all religion for the sake of humanity.

She is not simping for Nazis, she is one. These kind of Latinos see themselves as white, you know since they descend from Europeans from Spain. Lots of white supremacists in Latin America and Spain.

Pretty sure her last name is actually ruckus

As an Innuendo Studios video put it, it's "last hired, first fired."
