Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

This was based on an average of Gallup’s regular polls which has several methodological disadvantages. Pew Research’s numbers show an even split and is considered a much more reliable source https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/04/09/changing-partisan-coalitions-in-a-politically-divided-nation/

The Republican party has been shedding members since 2010.

It's crazy that so many identify as sociopaths and admit it.

I'd like to hear whether return2ozma believes this or is just posting for points. It seems very out of character for them to post this article.

It means GTFO and VOTE! No sleeping on this election.

Love that there’s no link to that supposed poll. And the author of that paragraph is a “breaking news intern” (read: LLM).

The Daily Beast article points to https://washingtonstand.com/news/more-americans-identify-as-republican-than-democrat-as-november-draws-nearer as it's original source.

I know a lot of people don't like the bot, but, from https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/washington-stand-bias-and-credibility/

Overall, we rate the Washington Stand as Questionable based on its promotion of far-right conspiracies and propaganda, lack of transparency regarding funding, poor sourcing, numerous failed fact checks by the parent organization, and third-party designation as a hate group.
Reasoning: Hate Group, Conspiracies, Propaganda, Pseudoscience, False Claims
Bias Rating: EXTREME RIGHT
Factual Reporting: LOW
MBFC Credibility Rating: LOW CREDIBILITY

Or take directly from Washing Stand's own website,

The Washington Stand is Family Research Council’s outlet for news and commentary from a biblical worldview. The Washington Stand is based in Washington, D.C. and is published by FRC, whose mission is to advance faith
