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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

Texas fuckery for you: My coworker is a registered voter and Puerto Rican. He tried to vote a few weeks ago, but the lady at the election place got sketchy and told him there's a problem with his registration.
Yesterday he got a new registration card and planned to vote today...but they pulled a switcheroo on the location. The place where all the early voting happened is closed today in favor of an alternate location.
He was a maga voter last election who has since learned, and these barriers to his vote have reinforced his move back from the dark side.
Was he able to vote?
He and his wife are in line now. When I hear back I'll edit this comment. The poll workers will be hard pressed to turn them away with fresh voter ID cards, but that doesn't mean they won't try.
Edit: They were able to vote.
🤞🤞
They voted 👍🏼
Excellent 👍👍
YES!!! Thanks for the update
From the future:
Even with all the fuckery, we got Blexas. How's your coworker feeling now?
He's not what I'd call happy or enthusiastic about the blue wave, but he knows the alternative is not even an option. Obviously I had to rib him over finally pulling his head out of his ass!
Well, while agree that's some fuckery going on there, in my county the early voting location (only one in the county) is never open on election day (when there are many other locations open).
