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!

This is like cheering that trumps polling is in the shitter, yet he still has 70% support from his idiot Maga voters. I mean, I guess it's something, but there is a cancer in this country that we have to figure out a way to excise before we get any real progress. Or halt our regression at a minimum.
A lot of it has to do with who actually shows up to the polls. Trump supporters are pretty quiet these days with all the Epstein files revelations, while Dems are more motivated than they have been for a long time, knowing they may not see another fair election if they let this go much longer.
And yet they still lost.
It was the opposite in 2024. Dems didn't show up.
It's funny to me that the Espstein trickle release would have an impact. I mean, did anyone not know that the proven rapist, convicted felon, life-long racist was a piece of shit? The other, undermining the foundation of the country, stuff should have more of an impact. And even if they somehow, grudgingly agree that trump is a piece of shit, they'll still vote for his congressional enablers. I will remain pessimistic and hold onto my low expectations until I'm proven wrong.
