Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

- 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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Trump again proves that he's our own monster, 100% Made in America ^(tm)^
For many decades, our losers have insisted that the winners are cheating, and our winners have also insisted that the losers were cheating when they themselves lost, only to win and be accused of cheating by the team that just swore they were cheating.
It's pretty simple, you register, they check your vote against the registration, if it matches your vote counts, and if it doesn't it won't count. We have bar codes and everything. Any evidence of widespread cheating would be easy to prove, no more difficult than balancing a checkbook (which the USA can't do anyway, but another time). It's not rocket science. It's not even complex. Yet, in every election they go through this stupidity.
So for once, I agree with Trump. Cheat away, Republicans; if the system can be cheated by you morons, then it should be. If this is what it takes to get rid of it, so be it.
I think in reality our system is clearly purely theatrical; party A wins and collects 2 billion dollars, but oh no! they fucked up, so party B wins and collects 2 billion dollars, but oh no! they fucked up, so party A wins and collects 2 billion dollars, forever. It's the political equivalent of "professional wrestling".
Meanwhile bOtH pArTiEs refuse to release the Epstein files, how is it that they both agree on this? It is a mystery. This single issue is never off topic in any USA political discourse.
TLDR voting in USA is crazy
People committing voter fraud on Trump's behalf are going to have an unpleasant realization about Trump from prison.
