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!

So like how would this play out if he tries? Do the courts say no and tell the states to not put his name on the ballot? Do the states take it into their hands and not put his name off the ballot? What if enough states do put his name on the ballot to win, does the supreme court just say no if he wins?
He'll just say he won, and everyone says "ok" just like they did last month.
@cogman@lemmy.world posted up above, "Trump's eligibility was challenged and the supreme court's response was 'Parties can pick whoever they like to be president, we'll figure out if they are qualified later'. That means the republican party is free to nominate and run Trump for president in 2028. The supreme court would only get involved if he wins the election, in which case..."
Emphasis mine. So what that means is, he'll be allowed to run, and then his illegitimate Supreme Court will just flip and say "It's too late now!"
Same approach they used to deny Garland his seat back when Obama appointed him, just with different obstructionists. Their MO is 'Rules for Thee, but not for Me'
everyone's just assuming that voting will be a thing at any point in the future
we'll go to war and he'll just declare a perpetual "emergency" and suspend whatever he needs to in order to crown himself supreme leader for life. at least it'll be entertaining to watch all his sycophant cultists tear each other's throats out trying to be named his successor when he finally fucking croaks
Considering that Trump is not eligible to be president because he led an insurrection and the Supreme Court overruled states which tried to uphold that law, I think we can make a guess.
