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!

"Watch the voters"
We already have poll watchers, is he really trying to go full 1933 nazi and have his zealots "monitor" voters?
Great.
Watch them for what exactly? For... Voting for another candidate? I don't understand. Like. They are looking for fraud? What would that look like?
I don't get it. Like if I went and watched the people at my local voting center, I would see a bunch of senior citizen voulenteers handing out ballots, and then I would see people putting their ballots into the big scantron machine thing. That's what it would look like. That's what it looks like every time.
He doesn't want them "watching" for anything. This is a dog whistle for textbook voter intimidation tactics.
Sane people may be too scared to show up and vote because they actively fear for their safety due to threats of violence or social reprisal.
Watch that be what all of these mass shootings have been about. People hanging out in some random chat room or forum getting talked into shooting up schools, movie theaters, churches, concerts, etc... And the whole thing ends up being connected to this creepy cabal of people like Roger Stone and Steve Bannon. They get people to stand around the polling places with AR's and then people are afraid of becoming another statistic.
If you have 2 people charging into a voting place and being stupid they get arrested. If you have 100 people then the voting place gets shut down for safety.
Shut down enough places in the other guys territory and you win.
And if you have 100 people charging in while the votes are being counted? I wonder what happens then.
Florida 2000. The Supreme Court gives itself the power to supersede the Constitution and Congress and the State Secretary. They then hand the election to the GOP. (Who promptly lost the recount but too late, SCOTUS said so!)
Thanks, too many folks forget that Jan 6 was the second violent coup perpetrated against the United States in the last few decades. Not only does the Brooks Brothers Riot absolutely count as one, it actually succeeded.
He has said this shit each election how are people surprised still?
Yes.
He is consistantly pulling from Hitler's playbook. Why is this surprising?
Here's something few of the libs think about; Many of us are armed as well.
Lol, not nearly enough compared to American conservatives. 30% to 69%. You are outnumbered over 2-1.
I am not an American, I just look at statistics for everything.
