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!

We should all worry about Trump getting in and especially of that insurrection act because if inacts that then kiss democracy goodbye and we become a dictatorship under Trump.
They aren't fucking around they have planned this for 50 years and they about to put into action.
You watch Biden speak he is the weakness candidate to stand against Trump. Yeah he won last time but since he spent 4 years getting nowhere and the economy getting worse along with two wars he is supporting. Yeah Trump may just win and that scares me and should rest of the country.
Unfortunately a lot of country mostly Republicans support what he wants.
Economy getting worse? What the fuck are you talking about? We've been on an upswing since COVID and have been avoiding what many predicted would be a serious economic downturn. I certainly agree he isn't the strongest candidate to go against Trump, but let's not make up reasons why.
Don't know what world you're living it but inflation is out of control and our economy here is tanking.
Seeing as this post is about US politics, it's a safe assumption I'm talking about the US. You're saying things like "out of control" and "tanking" as if it's some obvious facts when you're speaking in complete hyperbole. Inflation certainly is on the high side but the economy is nowhere near tanking. I'd love for you to explain what you think a tanking economy is or looks like, preferably with facts and data to back it up, not just "vibes"
So, are you Russian or Chinese?
