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!

Won’t stop Trumpers from unironically blasting Born in the USA while wearing American flag gear.

They're the epitome of "Glory Days", all peaked in high school

Here comes the heavy hitters.

Trump will gleefully throw him in a special prison as well.

In a normal situation, making an endorsement would not require risk. I commend The Boss and all the other celebrities willing to risk prison or death to make a public endorsement for democracy in this election.

"Some folks are born made to wave the flag Hoo, they're red, white and blue"

Welp that sounds good enough to me, I think I'll just stop listening to the lyrics now. These boys sure are patriotic.

Pretty sure CCR told Trump he couldn't use Fortunate Son at his campaign rallies.

Really? That's awful.

The boss has spoken!

Honestly, couldn't care about these actors or singers endorsements and I don't think they will change many peoples minds (I don't think swifties are the type of people who would vote for Trump)

It's probably more important to the right wing for endorsements by large business owners, the science community, industry and religious leaders

For morale, endorsements from large furniture stores would probably have the biggest impact for JD Vance

The right wing tend to care more about making money, so endorsements by musicians might not matter much
