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!

I dont give a shit what you "think". Im telling what I saw, and what continues to happen. I mean, ffs, youre doing it right now! Pushing this idea that hes going to cheat in 2028. Thats your current narrative. Just like it was, for a lot of online dems, a lie that he won. You all did the same in 2016, when you werent happy that he won.
MAGA might be worse, a lot worse, but youre "team" is still doing shit. So you, yes you, stop spreading this kind of stuff.
Look, Trump literally tried to steal the election in 2020. If his mob had successfully stopped the congress vote, I believe Trump would not have left office. That is unlike anything that has ever happened before from either party.
So for you to act like a handful of people might have said Trump stole the 2024 election is the same thing is incredibly dishonest. And it is exactly what the fascist wants.
Reality: Trump tried to stay in office after he lost the election. Never conceded. Harris conceded immediately and left office.
You: People on both sides say the election was stolen. They’re the same.
See how you are being dishonest by saying this?
And saying that Trump is going to try the same thing in 2028 is also not the same. He’s already done it, and this time he is building his own private army and sending military into the streets. This is not a time where you can say “both sides are similarly wrong”.
Edit: Just to add my exclamation point, there have been individual senators that have objected to the certification of votes, but NEVER like the republicans in 2020. The Republican Party was complicit in Trump’s attempt to steal 2020 in a way Democrats never have.
It's fucking proven that he cheated in 16 and 20 and since we did nothing to stop him 24 is a given. Give your balls a tug.
And its proven that youre lot have cheated as well, as you can see in another post. Stop trying to tell me that the party that made sure in 2020, that Americans had no chance of getting free healthcare by forcing Biden into the nom, are the good guys here. They stolen the nom in 2016, and they did it again in 2020, and again in 2024. And you lot keep on thinking they are the ones to free you from this nightmare... Jesus christ.
