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!

State polling showed they were really close in these ten swing states, so no surprise.
Our economy, our proxy wars that we are funding, and shifts in political views for some due to all these conflicts might have something to do with this.
Harris was not that popular in her presidential run in 2020 as well.
The data will be interesting when it is compared to 2016/2020/2024; I wonder if voter turnout increased or decreased!
Trump lies constantly, has 34 felony convictions, can't form sentences, and is a sex pest. The fact that he has so much support is a sign that half of the country are fucking morons.
Republica voter suppression was probably the tie breaker, but the fact that people keep saying he is better despite reality showing things were worse under Trump proves we have way too many idiots in this country.
All the states that added abortion rights to their constitution but put Trump and Republican congresspeople in are going to all pikachu face when they pass a national abortion ban.
Just a bunch of fucking idiots.
The working class voted as expected; no need to talk down to people that don't vote how you want them to.
I think it is better to continue to talk with people with diverse ideas different from ours and look at where we may agree.
That is why it is important to escape self-built echo chambers. Many independent journalists and commentators spoke about the increased support Trump was getting from minorities and the disdain people had for Kamala Harris.
I am looking forward to how third parties performed and to see if more people become anti-genocide or anti-war.
They deserve it.
Sounds like you deserve Trump, as well.
It seems to just help divide the working class and to continue to increase tribalism.
You do you!
Nate Silver said a few days ago that the pollsters were making the race look closer than it actually was
