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!

I hope we can use this gif a lot for memes after a blue wave this fall, but we shall see.
I hope all of the GOP get to look like this in a few weeks. 🤣
I know all the polling indicates a blue wave but I'm worried people are getting over confident about it :/. I'm hoping it's as intense as people are assuming but I'm expecting for them to barley take the majority and still need to bargain on every issue,
Polling hasn't been accurate for years, I think blue will take it, but it will be close. No wave.
I will be happy if I'm wrong.
gee i wonder why.
sure it has nothing to do with republicans admitted fraud
We have multiple instances of fraud from bOtH pArTiEs
Search on "Democratic party fraud" and "Republican party fraud". There's a lot of it.
Polling is not owned by Republicans by any means. Remember when HuffPo announced that Hillary Clinton had a 98% of winning? Republicans don't own HuffPo.
Yeah, no time for complacency and thinking everyone else has this. People need to turn out in droves.
I always vote, and I encourage you to vote, too.
Because it's funny. The more people that vote, the funnier it gets.
Seriously, I vote. But I don't think voting has any chance of reversing our downward decline in USA.
Only going to be a blue wave if people actually vote.
Ironically, this year it could actually be the opposite. Democrats have okay momentum right now (the very best they can to tbh), but Republicans have pretty much no momentum. Conservative voters are likely going to hit the ballot box in record low numbers this November. That's why a blue wave is expected.
But nobody on the left should relax about it. Campaign as if Trump's approval rating was at 100%. Don't underestimate how stupid and/or malicious conservative voters will be.
