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!

What are you gonna do MAGA? Kill him?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Honestly, they might. A lone wolf might attempt it, but it will be worse if Trump wins.

If Trump wins the presidency, he will kill or jail anyone he doesn't like. The Republicans plan to take control of the federal government without congressional support, and Trump openly tells us his intentions. Even if Romney didn't say this, Trump would still target him, so of course he would vote against him.

It's not a joke. Trump became more dangerous and more driven to become a dictator by losing in 2020. He was always going to try to overturn the constitution to become president for life by 2024, but now there are no neoliberal conservatives to hold him back. It's total fascism time for Republicans.

They can only be furious. Sure beats thinking.

I don't think it's much cause for celebration that Mr. "Corporations are people" wants to vote for your party.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you kidding? This is centrist Democrats' greatest accomplishment! They got headpats from the remaining moderate Republican!

Reliably spewing Bullshit in every thread

Actually you were on the literal next damn post I opened. Don't flatter yourself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

If you say so. I hope you figure out how to address disagreements with others without becoming abusive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't it's much cause for celebration that Republicans continually and repeatedly voted for Mr. "Corporations are people."

No one is surprised by this Rino . This is a manufactured story.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What exactly does it mean to be Republican in more than just name?

[–] rthmchgs 3 points 2 years ago

Obstruct and forego governing.

Can we talk about the weird painting/photo of Mitt and his seven kids?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

"Anybody. I would be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy], but the others that are running would be acceptable to me.

That is a man speaking who dislikes Trump personally, but doesn't have any issues with his policies. Ramaswamy, DeSantis, et al., are very similar to Trump politically, only more polished in personality. Nikki Haley and Chris Christie are probably the most rational of the current crop of Republican primary candidates, and they're still far from the more centrist Republicans like Bush I or II, or even Richard Milhouse Nixon.
