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!

Welcome to a WEIRD week in Politics!

Thursday, 2/8 - Now with 54% reporting in the Nevada Caucus, Trump was declared the winner after just the first percent was in:

1% results:
Donald Trump - 97.6% - 362 votes
Ryan Binkley - 2.4% - 9 votes

54% results:
Donald Trump - 99.3% - 32,527 votes
Ryan Binkley - 0.7% - 235 votes

Tuesday, 2/6, marks the Nevada Primary where Nikki Haley is running primarily (!) against "None of the Above".

AP Results Page here, 88% counted:

https://apnews.com/ap-nevada-election-2024-results

On the Republican side, the AP has called "None of These Candidates" the winner.

None of These Candidates - 43,893 - 63.2%
Nikki Haley - 21,199 - 30.5%
Mike Pence - 2,752 - 4.0%
Tim Scott - 950 - 1.4%
John Castro - 235 - 0.3%

On the Democratic side, it's Biden all the way:

Joe Biden - 98,358 - 89.3%
None of These Candidates - 6,398 - 5.8%
Marianne Williamson - 3,173 - 2.9%
Gabriel Cornejo - 630 - 0.6%
Jason Palmer - 385 - 0.3%

Which, in the end, doesn't really matter because the delegates which determine who the party nominee are, are not apportioned by the state PRIMARY, they are determined in the state CAUCUS on Thursday, 2/8.

Trump is running largely unopposed in the Caucus.

We'll leave the megapost up long enough to cover both events.

Please keep all comments and posts related to the Primary and Caucus in this Megapost.

Trump already did and guess what? It was one of his many losses.
