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!

The votes are coming in right now. They've BEEN coming in for over a week. The people going to vote today are not going to hear about this story before they go vote. The people who hear about this story are not going to listen. Where was all this "you just effed up" rhetoric weeks ago, months ago, YEARS ago WHEN THESE CHUCKLE-FUCKS ALREADY DONE BEEN FUCKING UP???
I'm glad you got your headline, but fuck you all for pretending like Trump and Vance had any qualities or qualifications to occupy the Whitehouse. Even if Harris wins, if it's by anything less than a 25 point lead, then our country is still fucked from all the people who have been given the room to believe that Trump was ever an option.
I get your point, but the folks at MSNBC have been consistently more critical of Trump than the other networks.
And you're not wrong that the USA is fucked for even entertaining the idea of Trump, but you'll be waiting a long time if you're sitting around hoping people become less dumb, selfish and would cut off their nose to spite their face. Try not to lose sleep over it, but at the same time if you were able to get even one person who was Trump supporting, undecided or uninterested to vote for Harris that is a positive thing.
You're right that they've been more critical, but the bar was set very very low...
This wouldn't even be a problem if Republican leadership hadn't been laser-focused on destroying the American public education system for decades. Americans as a group are stupid, and it's on purpose, engineered by Republicans.
