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!

I think Trump will win narrowly. Allan Lichtman predicted Kamala but I think some of his arguments for his keys to the white house being/not being turned are shaky.
I think Trump will win because I disagree with Lichtman's judgement on a few keys:
The No Social Unrest key is False. We seem to be forgetting Jan 6th.
No Scandal key is False. I'd say the incumbent president losing his marbles during a presidential debate and being too senile to move forward is pretty scandalous, also everything surrounding Hunter Biden.
Good short/long term economy is a toss-up. I can't really say that having a huge national deficit, high inflation and awful living standards in real terms counts, even if America technically isn't in recession.
Foreign/military success is a toss-up. I wouldn't count NATO rallying around Ukraine as that.
Even if you disregard Gaza, the US pulling out of Afghanistan and watching as the Taliban retook the whole country within hours counts as a military failure.
Anyone living in reality sees above as their reality.
Don't get me wrong. I hope that I'm wrong and Harris mops the floor with Trump, but the polls on 538 aren't giving me much hope
Ya so did inflation. Grats.
Trump’s inflation dude.
The keys don’t make a distinction, because the people don’t either.
