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.

Is someone keeping a tally of how many people went to prison for this guy so far? I can't imagine anyone going to prison for Biden, it's just so crazy.
There is a tiktok that I'm too lazy to go find but basically it boils down to Trump FANS vs. Biden Voters.
Trump fans are willing to break the law (read: not go to jail) because they believe they are above the law. The law is for punishing other people.
Biden/Harris voters are not fanatics, at least generally speaking.
Which just goes to show his lack of presidential authority. - magas (I expect.)
I mean, it's actually kind of impressive how Republicans are just willing to do this. People did it for Nixon, Reagan, and to a whole new level with Trump.
More expected than impressive. They didn't invent warped moral frameworks but they do buy from the market leader. The accusations aren't to convince people to leave the other team, it's to allow people to justify taking those actions themselves. Stochastic vote manipulation of you will.
It's funny, I'm not even expecting the "everything right-wingers complain about is projection" rule to not apply at this point, but it's getting to the point where I'm not sure if they do anything else at all
Trump is calling Kamala a fascist now which no doubt means he's come up with some new fascist schemes
Either it's projection, or it's the "no U R" response.
When they were called weird, the only response was "no U R".
When they claim that Tim Walz is a sexual predator.... that's projection.
Well, he is talking about the Alien Enemies Act as an immediate action on taking power. There's only really one way to round up what he's saying are millions of people at once, and it's what the Alien Enemies Act was last used for, setting up concentration camps.
I reeeeeeally try to stay hopeful most of his supporters are ignorant of what they're going along with, or we are in serious trouble as a nation no matter who wins.
It's always projection
The statement said the woman was an “ardent” Trump supporter who had wanted to vote for him before she died.
What's so fucked up about the MAGA news bubble is that they push these false stories of Democratic voter fraud, so their own supporters think that cheating is ok because everyone is doing it. Then these chucklefucks find out the hard way that election fraud - contrary to what Fox News has told them - is taken seriously and has very serious consequences.
So if I read the article correctly: you can cast a vote for a dead person so long as they die after the absentee ballots are mailed out. Plausible deniability.
Just make sure you don't mail it back, the post mark might give you away.
Ok I hate to be devils advocate here but… say you are taking care of your sick and dying mother. She has a stack out outgoing mail you haven’t had a chance to drop off at the mailbox yet. It includes her mail in ballot. She dies. Then you take her last unsent mail to the mailbox. It would be post marked after her death. Is that a legit vote?
Also I happened to notice our mail in ballots say “no power of attorney” so presumably the person has to be able to fill out and sign it themselves.
the person has to be able to fill out and sign it themselves.
This. If she voted, but it is postmarked after her death, it will probably be flagged, however, you haven't broken the law.
