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 like in 2000, it ain’t happening, Jack. Please don’t waste precious time and resources on trying to win over Florida mans.
It happened in 2000
No, it clearly did not, or we would be on a very different trajectory as a nation right now.
I understand that after all the recounts were in that Gore actually won. But that didn’t matter, because the establishment lied and cheated to keep Gore out and let W in, whom they knew would cater much more to their interests. The FL state politicians, the corrupt news media, and the Supreme Court all colluded to just give the election to W even though he lost.
Are you seriously claiming that there is a lower probability of such cheating taking place in the current era? Do you think our institutions are now better prepared to ward off this type of foul play? If so, I think you’re delusional.
To me, this is further intentional torpedoing of his own campaign by Biden. Just more proof that he’s a terrible political strategist at best, or at worst is actively trying to lose so they can fundraise off the cheetolini for four more years.
Florida was declared for bush, but gore won over Floridians, which was your original point. I haven’t been to Florida since I was 17, so I really can’t speak to the integrity of the elections systems, nor should anyone want me to speculate.
