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!

Just a thought.
Maybe we shouldn't trust our futures to dumbfucks that can get played by the most obvious conman in history 3 times back to back to back.
Maybe every fucking person that isn't a dumbfuck treasonous conservative should show up to vote in 26/28/forever. It's pretty goddamn clear we can't trust conservatives with our nation's wellbeing.
It's a shame there would be no enthusiasm for it from the left, but we'd do a lot of good by direnfranchiseing as many rural whites as possible.
Say "We need to secure out elections, that's why only major metropolitan centers can have polling location - so we can guarantee a secure and accurate count."
And there should be no enthusiasm. Any means to disenfranchise large swaths of people can be turned around and used on yourself.
You're right if we started trying to disenfranchise republican voters, huge chunks of democratic voters would be disenfranchised in retaliation.
Luckily we're not fighting Republicans so our voters are safe and the voting rights act is stronger then ever. Yes, absolutely the thing I am most grateful for is how we have reframed from attacking republicans because black representation in the south is too precious to risk.
