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!

The DNC trying every possible angle to keep a threat to their power off the ballots. They claim to be saving democracy by preventing it.
It's funny how you only blame the DNC when RNC does the same shit. You're clearly pushing a narrative.
Find a single time the RNC sued to keep a person or party off the ballot. Republicans wear their shit on their shoulders for all to see, Democrats obscure theirs while pointing fingers at others about THEIR crimes

Hasn't Ken Paxton actively been raiding the homes of Hispanic Americans because he was trying to prevent them from voting?

You're right Republicans aren't going after people being on the ballot... This time... No this time they are trying to disenfranchise voters entirely.
Look at Arizona: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/supreme-court-rejects-republican-effort-to-block-over-40000-arizona-voters-but-partly-approves-proof-of-citizenship-law
Look at Georgia: https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/republican-backed-georgia-rules-risk-undermining-election-certification-critics-say/
In Arizona they were trying to restrict voting this election. Georgia goes even farther and gives counties the right to refuse to certify an election that was won by someone they don't like.
Sure I don't support any effort to block someone from the ballot. In fact, I don't support any effort to block on either side of the ballot. If a person is trying to get elected, or just trying to vote they should not be blocked. Yet in the end, people are hurt significantly more by their own and literal thousands of others votes blocked than by not being allowed to be on the ballot.
Well I have pointed out that the RNC does the exact same shit. And I still get accused of pushing a narrative, so....
Yep!! And now expect replies saying that you're just a plant and that you only want Trump to win. Or that you are a Russian asset. Accusations that get thrown at me daily on here. lol
