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!

Some numbers guy political consultant said "This is the best way to turn out votes in the last week of the election" and a bunch of campaigns believed it.
It's all just consultant Voodoo. Whomever wins still have described the signs and rituals one must perform to become President, and then everyone else will try to do the same thing four years from now.
I mean he's getting paid by a known moron. You could sell him glitter foundation and he would go out looking like a disco ball.
I live in Florida, and got a handwritten post card with the "Whether or not you voted" line. Felt oddly threatening. Stuff like this is why I vote early to avoid the attempted intimidation to sway my vote right.
Democrats are doing creepy stuff, too.
From the Center for Voter Information:
[table showing whether I and two of my neighbors voted on the last four elections.]
None of this is OK.
The center for voter information is not associated with democrats. They’re an apolitical non profit whose goal is to get more people voting.
And yes. They are creepy. But they’re not democrats.
I agree that's a flyer like this could be worded a lot different to spread awareness without sounding threatening. They also send out mailers that tell candidates' positions on topics that has been questionably factually in the past. Conversely I had received before the voting period a mailer listing all the judges of the county and their own statements, basically a consolidation of information, that was very helpful. It's about knowing how far to go, and of course being truly non-partisan.
I need this. I left the judges ones blank because IDK a thing about these people and you can’t find things about them online!
Look for local paper election guides online first. They will often go into the records of more obscure races.
How the fuck is that considered a threat?
Why isn't it okay?
