Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

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.

MODERATORS
I have been speaking out against Donald Trump since he made the comment in his debate with Hillary Clinton about keeping us in suspense when they asked him if he’d accept the results if he lost.
In all of this time I have changed only one mind. ONE.
I said then, “I promise you, if he loses, he’ll claim it was stolen.” “No he won’t. He’s just making a show of it. He’s a really smart man and he’s playing with these career politicians.”
He won.
When he ran again, I reminded them of what he said in the debate with Hillary Clinton. When he lost, he did exactly what I said he would do (what HE said he would do). It didn’t matter that he won the last time. Still, nearly all of them said, “Well, they cheated the first time but they didn’t cheat hard enough. They cheated this time and Covid helped with voting by mail. Dead people voted.”
Even though he told them all EXACTLY what he would do if he lost, they still followed whatever he said after that and made excuses.
It blows my fucking mind.
