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!

MODERATORS
They can't pass the SAVE act, it won't make it through the Senate filibuster.
Unless Chuck caves under 0 pressure again
There are 44 other Senators who can kill the bill by simply stating their intent to filibuster. Even if Chuck caves.
Yep. He sure is, so that there's no way it could possibly be implemented in time, and then he'll use the resulting chaos as 'proof' of voting fraud
And the wheels of justice shall turn slowly. In December 2027, they'll rule that people should have been allowed to vote in November 2026
So quickly? I was thinking the ruling would come down 4-5 years after the event
Was I being too optimistic?
Democrats are currently furrowing their brows, drafting stern letters, and making appeals to norms and traditions.
What do you need to do?
This EO has all of the legal weight of a blog post.
Article 4 Section 1
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The only groups that have power over elections is the State and Congress.
Trump can draft an EO declaring himself king of mars. He can write anything in an EO, he's the E. A state can simply ignore it, it has no chance of surviving a motion for a TRO.
they got to ride that thin line of not alienating the fence sitters of genocide and not genocide, and still pretend to care to feed their vote blue no matter who base
Aren't the state's responsible for running the election system?
Yeah there's this pesky little thing called the constitution that explains that.
Yes
Yes, until the SCROTUS says the president is as well.
The rules of Monolopoly say absolutely nothing happens on Free Parking. The official rules mean nothing if nobody follows them in practice
Federal elections, instead of state elections?
So that means no more electoral college, right? Right?
Elections are 100% controlled by the states, there is nothing they can do to force states to comply with this stupid shit. Trump is an utter fucking moron.
A bunch of states are going to kowtow to him anyway, a judge is going to declare it unconstitutional, Trump's going to throw a hissyfit & bomb Djibouti or some shit as distraction and Congress is going to pass it anyway.
Trump is an utter moron, being supported by utter morons, with utter morons calling rational people "the real morons" for daring to ask "wait, what?"
I'm tired, and I can't weld good enough to make a Killdozer...
I don't think you need to be a very good welder for that particular project.
My "welding" experience consists of soldering parts onto circuit boards. I don't think that will help much with thick steel plates. Can't have a Killdozer that falls apart mid rampage.
If you're a registered Democrat, you're going to get a late night visit from ICE.
castle doctrine gonna suck for ice
Own a modern firearm to shoot fascists foot soldiers, as the founding fathers intended...
Fuck that we tally ho.
They are not prepared to deal with cannons. Or revolutionary war recreationists
