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!

I hate that this is the debate we’re having now

I also hate that I’m feeding into the NYT’s lazy and transparent attempt to undo their previous partisanship with new opposite partisanship like those two things cancel out and add up to journalism

But what the hell, if that’s where we’re at, this is a relevant data point about the landscape

Jesus fucking Christ...what does it take to prove to Democrats that they are going to fucking lose?

He's up 8 points before the shooting. That pic of him bloody and pumping his fist is all over EVERYTHING right now.

This election was over in the first 10 minutes of the debate. This is absolute victory at this point, and I think we lose Congress too, in a bad way.

If you're not freaking out...I don't know man...I just don't know.

I'm not freaking out. Let's figure out what we need to do. It'd be more of a problem if it were a week ahead of the elections.

If we gotta get violent to protect the ones we love, so be it. Till that time, keep it cool and think.

Good to know you're easily emotionally manipulated. Just have a listen to the MSM and bam it's over for you. I honestly don't know why everyone is saying that this incident means Trump is going to win. He's a racist, extremist, criminal, dictator wanna be which is exactly why this happened. And it doesn't change who he is or his plans to tear America to the bones and remake it so he can exploit it for himself.

Americans have the memory of a goldfish, by Nov this will be forgotten, but Trump will continue to be Trump and his ties to Project 2025 and his Agenda 47 and how he wants to use the presidency for revenge and personal gain will continue to be put in the spotlight. As long as the media stops sucking his dick that is.

The election is over. Period...he's up 8 points, and I'm betting by Monday 12 points.

You understand his base is voting FOR project 2025 and Agenda 47. That's what they want.

I'm betting by Monday 12 points.

Will you bet with me? We can use fivethirtyeight.com as the agreed source; just whatever national poll gets posted there first, starting as of Monday morning. I’ll bet any amount up to $200.

You're one of two things, a Russian/CCP/NK/etc troll pushing for people to give up on voting, or a media manipulated hysterical doom poster. Both of which are helpful to Trump.
