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!

what matters is Harris said it to show solidarity to the workers in the US to garner their votes
no matter what party the candidate is from if they are willing to lie to the voters what else would they lie about
Walz overfunding police so they would manhandle protesters that are against an oil pipeline but coming out as an environmentalist is the same thing too
matters who we put in office, and they should be held to a high standard
If you want to call her a liar, you can drop actual evidence or shut up.
Federal regs require employers to hold employment info for three years. My corp will literally shred and burn everything past that once a month because we don’t want the liability of that shit getting out.
We’re talking something 40 years ago, and most her friends then are probably gone and hazy. McDonald’s probably doesn’t have anything either.
There’s probably no photos, especially since that was well before digital cameras being a thing. You think some rando franchise owner is going to keep photos of some rando college kid cuz they might be president some day?
It’s not surprising there’s “no evidence”. What’s surprising is that you’re making an issue of it… without evidence.
Wait, you’re serious?
HAHAHAHAHAha 😂😂😂
What a perfectly sensible reason to let Trump come to power and order the military to start shooting protestors with live ammunition
Surely, the metrics of your political decision making are totally logical
so only Republicans need to be held to a standard but not Democrats because of Trump?
not to mention Walz got the police extra funding to put the boot to protesters and under federal approval under then President Trump in a bipartisan effort

So who are you voting for? And why?
not allowed to vote because of bipartisan politics
but Claudia De la Cruz would have my vote if were able to
seems to be genuinely for the people
Only reason you can't legally vote in the US is if you're a felon. Otherwise, you're abstaining meaning you can vote you just choose not to.
more reasons than being a felon that keep US citizens from voting
Fascinating
Some of our readers aren’t from the US - you wanna expand a little for their benefit what bipartisan things besides being a felon might randomly disqualify someone from voting? They might not be first hand familiar with it like you are.
Very unlikely. Again, abstaining ≠ not being allowed to vote.
It does matter who we put in office and they should be held to a high standard.
Unfortunately, it's the fascist demagogue supported by Nazis or whoever the DNC put forward. Sooooooooo it's not much of a choice.
Also, they're politicians. They have easy tells for determining if they're lying. Just look to see if their lips are moving.
