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!

There's been evidence of Republican slanted election interference for decades, don't both sides this shit.
Because it makes you uncomfortable to know that both sides are shitty?

So, yeah, I think I will keep on both sidesing this shit. Because both sides are corrupt as fuck. And you all need to get on board with that fact, if you ever want to claw your way out of the hell hole youve made for yourselves.
Bad bot, the primary bullshit didn't play, you need to update your propaganda points.
Whats its like being in a cult? Whats it like being the very thing that you point at MAGA for? I mean, I couldnt spoon feed you any better than this. You want to claim its not both sides trying to get a leg up in nefarious ways, I just gave you examples of why it is. You want to claim that only Republicans are corrupt, while ignoring the other things I said about Nancy Pelosi fucking over AOC to hold her back from making a run in 2028. You ignore the facts, because youre in a cult. Its a different cult to MAGA, but its still a cult. And you act the same as they do, ignoring and arguing against whats going on out in the open.
Just last year, in broad daylight, the Dems elected a 75 year old man dying of cancer into the top position of the house committee, instead of a 35 year old woman in her prime. Thats fucking boomers, looking after their own interests, and telling the younger generations to take a fucking walk! And it happened right in front of your fucking face! And all you have to say is "bad bot"... Fucking insane.
