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!

In Quinnipiac polls conducted in five of the seven key swing states throughout October, Harris had a significant lead among women, while Trump saw a comparable advantage among men in those same places.

This is likely due to the whole "Alpha male" toxic mentality people like Andrew Tate keep peddling. They've managed to condition a lot of men that women should not perform any role other than being an obedient housewife.

According to recent polls, Democrats seem to be losing support among groups they’ve counted on in the past, like Black men and Latino men.

This one is the most concerning. This could really swing a few key counties and even entire states. Hopefully Democrats can address this in time to rectify it.

not copying trump's playbook on immigration would help A LOT with the latinos.

yes they do and sometimes it feels like i'm related to all of them; but the one thing that matters is that most of them are older and there are more that are younger. harris must appeal to the younger ones and her copy & paste of trump's plan does not work for them.

It makes me sad that we're still this dumb.

The women are trying to drag us forward

Imagine being a young woman knowing that your male counterparts are voting to take away your rights. Although I guess that really isn't a new thing.

My dark horse hope is that women show up to the election with baseball bats and vote with rates that are comparable to places with compulsory voting.

Conversely, 56 percent of men backed former President Donald Trump, while 37 percent of women did.

Sounds like Michigan men are insecure, clueless and weak.
