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!

Vance is definitely easier to manipulate. So I honestly don’t know who is worse.
You think Vance is easier to manipulate than the literal pedophile with a lifetime of compromat who consistently flips his convictions over who complimented him last????
I'm not saying Vance isn't easy to manipulate, I'm just saying I can't imagine there's an easier to manipulate human being over the age of 4 than Donald Trump.
Search video, Vance flips web cam upside down… please if you haven’t seen it.

Yep, that’s it. Our VP ladies and gents.
Vance won't be able to capture MAGA any more than a used condom filled with Trump's diaper drippings would.
I agree
I've gotten the feeling that Trump acts out of loving himself, while Vance explicitly wants to be awful. Both about as terrifying, but Vance seems more menacing in my mind.
More menacing, but definitely won't be able to hold the cult together
Eh.... Vance isn't the childish wanna be strong man that Trump is. He's an ambitious ideologue who has the backing of powerful wealthy men and will 1000% take advantage of the ground work towards authoritarianism that Trump laid. I wouldn't be shocked if he fails to inspire MAGA at large to fall in behind him. He'd probably fave a lot of opposition and other Trump wannabes in a future election, if we have any more of those. But he will definitely try to hold onto all that MAGA influence and he will likely succeed in at least getting Trump's cabinet and the Republican congress and SCOTUS to prop up his bullshit just like they did Trump. They'll be relieved to have a more predictable autocrat in charge. If he continues to undermine elections and the rule of law like Trump, well... I'm sure he doesn't hate the idea of being a young dictator for life.
I'm keeping an eye on Hegseth too
Yeah, dude is certifiable and would absolutely love to coup Vance's ass
Between the strong jawline and the talking head experience, I think he could play the MAGAs like a fiddle
Don't forget the crazy villain eyes and sense of smug superiority.
JD has the charisma of a damp gym sock…
