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!

He can disappear for 2 weeks and this will still be the closest election ever
My hope is that this demoralizes his supporters so they just don't vote.
Same.
Even when he shows up and listens to music, I hope it demoralizes them.
He nop’d on an interview targeting young black voters. That will probably excite his supporters and cement their desire to vote for him.
They'd likely have to read to know he did it.
They'll elect him even if he's confirmed dead. Just out of spite.
All that matters is if that corpse has a big R next to its name.

I hate that this is true.
Honestly… that might be the best move for him.
Him going out just keeps making it obvious.
I hate that you're probably right.
The goddamn polls have only been getting better for him...
He's probably, dare I say, smart for not doing many more interviews so he doesn't fuck up anything since between their plans to ratfuck the election where they can and his lead in the polls he's pretty much got this anyway :(
I don’t get it. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin seem neck and neck now.
From a slight Harris lead to a tie, polls overestimate Democrat performance, and as you get closer to the election the polls get more accurate so all that together tells me Trump is actually winning unfortunately :(
I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong come election day though
