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!

Somebody explain to me how there’s rampant fraud but also the republicans took the house, senate, presidency, and the Supreme Court. That makes no sense.
I think it makes perfect sense
It’s just another distraction. The average person is easily manipulated with emotion. That is why propaganda is so effective and that is why this will also work if it happens.
The fraud is rampant. It's called gerrymandering, closing polling locations, poll taxes (ID requirements that cost money), propaganda, voter intimidation, etc
Republicans are obsessed with voter fraud because they are the ones doing it and they can't comprehend that everyone else wouldn't be too. "I cheat all the time, how come I can never catch the other guys cheating?"
Tbf, the Democrats are gerrymandering too. You're 100% correct about the rest though
Wow, support Trump much? You're supposed to vote for any candidate who's in whichever of the two biggest parties that's closer to opposing the problem, even if the candidate themself doesn't even mention the problem.
It's obvious enough that it should solely dictate your vote, but this good innocent candidate probably never heard of it.
No no no, NO! See, look, right, here goes, when the ~~Gang Of Paedos~~Angelic Republicans lose an election it's because of the SHOCKING RAMPANT FRAUD. OK!!?!!
However on the elections the GoodGuys™ win then it's because of all their diligent and trustworthy behind the scenes hard work they do to ensure no SHOCKING RAMPANT FRAUD is going on.
But..but...but, unfortunately, those pesky tricksy demoncrats are in league with the devil and always find ways to do some SHOCKING RAMPANT FRAUD to sway the honest, free, fair elections that the Pure Innocent ~~Nazis~~Conservatives hold so dearly to their virginal and trustworthy hearts.
Do you understand and are in agreement, or do I have to send ICE around to explain it to you personally? (In a free and fair and nonviolent manner, of course)
Because the election fraud benefits the Republicans. These actions are to ensure the frauds continue.
It doesn't need to make sense... we're far beyond this point. It needs to KEEP THEM IN POWER, this will totally suffice. Since no ones going to hold them accountable (ignoring court rulings is a habit) this should do as fig leaf.
