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!

LOL
A democratic socialist doing something the conservatives scream they are all about, deregulation specifically in support of small business.
Conservatives must be going apeshit in their confusion.
This is in the top 10 gif of the decade hands down.
You can see him realizing it real time in his facial expression, it's great
Its so wonderfully appropriate in so many cases!
They would if they could read
Unironically this.
Conservatives are going to loudly talk shit and quietly vote for him.
I do believe you're right. Conservatives constantly demonstrate their hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty as well as their self serving nature. There's a real possibility for people publicly railing against mandami to signal in-group but vote for him in the secrecy of the booth to their benefit.
Lol, no they won't. Some will claim to be unhappy with Trump, then will go to the polls and vote straight R.
Donald Trump wasn't kidding when he said he could kill a man in the middle of 5th Avenue and not face any consequences.
He's a well documented pedo, and may have even been involved in the murder of an infant he conceived on a child, and Republicans are still bending over backwards to make sure he's free to trample on the US Constitution.
They're bending over backwards because they foolishly brought him into the group and he has access to the blackmail they obviously require for joining the R cult. And with his narcissism and clear dementia getting worse by the day, he is likely to blurt something out in response to any small slight against him.
For a muslin? You can't trust those diaphanous fuckers! Especially not in that climate!
More than anything, they are self-serving hypocrites. They rail and rant about communists, socialists, muslims, jews, etc. in public, but come election day, they will vote for their self-interests.
EDIT: Not all. Some are too far gone.
Nobody cares about hypocrisy.
