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
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!

Yet in spite of that, people still allowed him back in in 24. People are stupid.
No they didn't, he cheated, and EVERYBODY knows it. The Dems are just too afraid to say it out loud, or they'll have to investigate it, and they are too cowardly to do that because if they find out there was cheating, which we all know there was, they'll have to do something about it, and they are too cowardly to do that.
When I was a kid, others tried to bully me. I would rather take the pain of a fight, even if I lost, than the humiliation of being bullied weenie. So I fought a few times, and never got bullied or humiliated again. MAGA attacks Dems because they are bullies, and the Dems are weenies.
It makes me sick that the Dems won't defend themselves, which is why I've been a lifelong unaffiliated independent.
Just to point out, while it's good to stand up to bullies, the equation changes a lot when the "bully" is willing to escalate to killing you or your family in response. And Trump and his cult do seem willing to go there.
Are Dems generally spineless? Seems like it. Do they have reasonable cause to fear for their lives? I think so, too.
As a note, I think there's a fair number of Republicans scared of the same thing.
Democrats did. Had the Democrats ensured he was properly prosecuted while Biden was president, Trump would be rotting in prison right now.
