Trump unexpectedly closed a gap in the polls to a photo-finish in 2020. History has taught us it is far too soon to celebrate

Only bc the media conveniently forgets about his crimes and rapiness so they can conduct half ass polls.

And let him drone on and on across all national news networks every time he calls a "press conference" while record-sized Kamala rallies going on at the same time are completely ignored

It will never stop being amazingly sad that the Christian vote backs the "grab 'em by the pussy" guy that fucked a porn star right after his fourth wife had a baby, and then lied about it (is still lying about it) despite a public trial proving he covered it up with campaign money.

Trump voting Christians are a joke. Like, they are actually a giant fucking joke.

NYT recently "fact checked" Kamala's claim that Trump wants to nuke the Affordable Care Act and said she exaggerated because he tried during his term and some Republicans voted no.

All the media outlets are in his pocket

Gotta build up the top of the card as the fight of the century so they’ll watch everything leading up to it. It is an insanely important election but I hate that our political system has become sports promotion

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!
