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!

Can this account which has previously been banned for trolling just get banned until after November 5th?

Don't worry, after Nov. 5 this account will fall silent. I promise you, this account has no purpose outside of election propaganda.

Pretty sure it's being helped by the mods at this point.

Every time I open the instance, the vatniks have spammed the page so much they have 60% or more of the posts.

Had to look it up. Vatnik (Russian: ватник, pronounced [ˈvatʲnʲɪk]) is a political pejorative used in Russia and other post-Soviet states for steadfast jingoistic followers of propaganda from the Russian government

What momentum? All he’s been doing is rambling and embarrassing himself in every interview. And farting out loud during his rallies.

Sure as long as they vote on Jan 5th like he said yesterday,.😂🤣🤣😂

No. Here's why.

The ex-president has also narrowed small leads for Harris in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

So Harris is still leading there. And,

Harris’s most straightforward path to victory may be along the “blue wall,” which has played prominently in the last two elections. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin

Even the article admits this,

Harris retaining the ability to turn the tables and recapture the momentum.

And finally,

"Sustaining this momentum until Election Day will require maintaining discipline in his messaging and avoiding controversies that could alienate undecided or moderate voters," Agranoff said.

.. which sounds like the exact opposite of who? Three guesses, and the first two don't count.
