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!

He wants to IMPEACH the Two Justices who are making Decisions based off who BRIBES them the Most? BUT HE HAS A BAD TATTOO! I GUESS I'll have to vote for Susan Collins AGAIN instead!

-The Mainstream Media!

Basically if the Mass Media is backing them you know they are corporate shit MAGA or MAGA-Lite

If the MM is against you, you know you are on the side of the people.

It is incredibly sad to see how captured the MM has become, real news is alternative news.

If that's all they still have to smear, given the time and exposure he's been under, that's probably a pretty good sign.

It seems just about every statement on policy he has expressed just keeps on being a solid good take.

One of the wealthiest men in maine, served with war criminals, and had a nazi tattoo for decades but he says all the things you want to hear while campaigning.

My honest assessment is he a liar and will show his true colors once in office.

Plus the Democratic leadership doesn't seem half as freaked out by him winning as they were with Mamdani, probably because they've assessed he's not an actual leftist but more of a fetterman type.
