politics
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!

Not Good
Not Good and Entirely Predictable.
You had no credible evidence until this point except “he was a chud in the past and I have bad vibes”
Newsflash, you’re not an oracle. Now that there’s credible accusations, he’s out. As it should be. You don’t get to be a wrecker on vibes, that’s how we end up with the Chuck Schumers and Susan Collins’ of the world.
The real question is now who is going to step up in his place with the same platform? Because the policies are clearly what we all wanted and needed, which is why he attracted attention nationwide.
This is the guy that had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for twenty years?
I stg I thought I was going nuts, seems lots of ppl were desparate for anyone that has a crumb of charisma and reformist positions to the point of glossing over those tattoos and his private merc past. No one was arguing really for his arrest or anything, just whether THIS was the best we could do. And now this... I just am not surprised.
I mean I'd vote for him over Collins but that's because the bar is in hell and unless we're aiming for societal collapse keeping republicans out of office no matter what is an existential priority. But goddamn is it an indictment on US American culture and society. We are for the most part not good people.
