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 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.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
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.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
The absolute terrible acting here will not be picked up by the South. That very reflective Jesus Cross around her neck is an obvious prop. All the fake crying in the world won't derail those people. Sickening.
Fortunately, there are only a handful of states that actually have a chance to alter the outcome and several of those states will have a lot of conservatives going "wtf was that?" Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin are the four I expect would see the most suppressed republican voter turnout from this train wreck of a speech
I've lost all faith in conservatives to think logically or use common sense.
Believe it or not there are still moderate ones out there, they just have shut up because they're embarrassed
But they call themselves "common sense conservatives"! What more do you want? Gosh!
The general election is still eight months away. No one will remember this train wreck by then, since there'll be all new ones.
The decision to stay home on election day isn't made of a single event. It's a chain of them that demoralizes someone into apathy
Deep south Louisiana here. Recognized the fake sincerity in both her awful "I'm a good Christian wifey" voice and her "fake fake fake concerned" facial expressions, the fake automated and often inappropriate smiles. Yuk.
I'm sure this will fly right over the heads of Evangelical/Fundie idiots, because that's all they've ever known. But those of us who've dipped our toe into the waters of a wider world are noticing, and we are not being fooled at all.
Even some Republicans down here noticed...my neighbor asked me if I saw her "little talk in her kitchen" and called it a shit show. She's not wrong, but I don't think she even knows to what extent.
Tens of millions of women are angered by the overthrow of abortion rights and her "mommy and wifey" as her primary role in society is going to anger them further. The Republican woman is being shown as submissive with little value to the party; she literally belongs in the kitchen! That's a big no-no to many women, even some Republican ones.
