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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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!

Why did america not arrest him the first time he did this?
I mean, he's allowed to spend money. The illegal part was offering money to vote Republican.
As to why no arrest, because this county's a sham. These midterms are so incredibly important, and it's kinda like, will they be tampered with, will they not be, wait and see! America loves drama and reality TV, and now we're all on the show.
I don't think paying them to vote Republican was the issue either. I think he's being sued because the lottery was rigged
If these elections are so important why haven’t people formed militias as a backup plan for if any fuckery happening?
Do we care about elections, if we’re not willing to do anything about them cheating brazenly in them?
Because the people buying guns and forming militias are the one's in masks abducting citizens for not looking white enough
You know the rights to buy guns and form militias is something everyone has the right to do. People need to stop waiting for someone else to save them and start working to protect themselves and communities.
I'm well aware, also painfully aware that anyone doing so without the state doing their best to either label them as domestic terrorists or insert their own agent provocateurs to cause the kind of incident that would make the public label them as such, don't currently exist, thanks to the panopticon making it the easiest thing ever for the powers that be to dismantle their entire organisation.
I mean, you raise a point, but good luck doing anything and trying to stay off the radar of national security. They've got 25 years of experience spying on American citizens under the guise of stopping terrorism. If I go out and try to form a militia right now, I'm not voting in the next election.
I think familiarizing ourselves with decentralized methods of communication is an important step to take right now. Hopefully not necessary.
"25 years" as if the agencies haven't been manipulating the american public with mass media, psyops and literal chemical warfare since the 50s :/
Oh for sure, they just made it legal 25 years ago.
Money. Plain and simple. America belongs to the rich and will continue to until it's bag enough for everyone to start committing crimes.
Isn't the wealth inequality double what it took for the french revolution?
Cos it's legal there
Because the people he supported won.
