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!

Surveys are back to trump beating Biden by several points
The only people answering those sorts of polls are weirdo old people. Which heavily skews towards Crime Boss Donald
According to farmers and rural hickabillies in the countryside of red state usa, Trump has a commanding lead over Biden.
Lmao yeah man I have a weirdo old grandma in Florida and she answers every single poll she can. Bet you can’t imagine who she votes for
Oh jeez they're full on "Have you ever met a Biden voter? I've never met one." with the heavy insinuation that it's all fake.
Weird old people jave been dictating American politics for decades
The only people who vote are weirdo old people, so the surveys should be a concern.
Not true.
Polls are also incredibly unreliable this far out in the most unpredictable election the country has seen in recent history.
And if they’re national polls, they mean nothing.
it's almost like the people funding these polls want to convince people that lots of others are voting for Trump too, so it's okay to vote for a insurrectionist, rapist, and convicted felon.
Your government doesn't think he's an insurrectionist. The department of Justice won't even bring charges of it
Half the government are scared of looking partisan and the other half are equally guilty.
Presumption of innocence isn’t a statement of fact- it is a presumption meant to inform proceedings at (and before,) trial so as to protect civil liberties; and while in that context is important, the reality that Trump and his supporters/puppet masters have incited insurrection is incontrovertible. We watched it happen live
Too bad the DOJ doesnt think so
Then it’s a good thing that fact and truth don’t rely on what complicit assholes think, isn’t it?
Until the doj charges him, it means absolutely nothing
Keep telling yourself that.
Except for these charges, right?

If you'll notice, not a single one of those mentions insurrection
