Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I dont think republicans picking whos vote gets counted and throwing all the rest away really counts as 'people made their choice'

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Are you suggesting that the difference in results is purely because votes were tossed? Yea voters rolls purged and gerrymandering, but the left didn't show up, and that's why Trump won. He has by all accounts more supporters than Harris did, and they made their choice.

GOP have voter suppression down to a science at this point, if dems continue to do nothing about it they'll never win anything ever again

For sure, not arguing that, but if people went out and voted for Harris she maybe could have won. Instead more people voted for a rapist that will do everything in his power to take full power in the US.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yes the Republicans suppressed the vote. But it was nowhere near the 20 million votes Democrats gave to Biden but not Harris. Trump would have won without suppression this time. There are just that many MAGA voters.

The suspicious part was several states experienced a ton of people who voted for Trump, but voted straight Democrat downticket.

[–] draneceusrex@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Stop acting like MAGA. I live in North Carolina. The state has voted Dems on the state level and Republicans on the federal level consistently since 2016. Even Trump distanced himself from Robinson after his Black Nazi porn shit came out.

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So what your telling me is the guy who cheated in 2016 (proven in court) and cheated in 2020 (we all heard it) Definitely didnt cheat this time....

ok got it.

I mean, what’s one more normally-career-destroying crime spree that we investigate years after the fact and has no adverse effects on him?

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It the US its becoming clear that the elected officials pick their voters, not the other way around as it should be. And yes both sides do it, but one side does it a Lot more.

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

And in case you missed it, criminal and rapist trump just nominated child rapist Matt Gatez to be attorney General, in case you were wondering how everything is going.

Elon Musk used Starlink to hack the voting machines, more people need to be talking about this
