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!

Blood on their hands. But they don't care, because (they think) God sent them.

I'm starting to think Texas might very well go blue this year because of it.

Today is the last day to register to vote in Texas. Make sure to double check your registration because of voter purges and vote!

See how to do so below. Note that there's only mail and in person registration and not online registration unlike most states. Registration by mail must be postmarked by today!

And tomorrow they'll start cleaning voting rosters...

They'd get sued pretty immediately for that. It's very explicitly against the law to do so. It's illegal to remove voters from registration anything beyond 90 days out from the election. Voting rights groups and DOJ have sued Alabama for doing so 84 days out, they'd absolutely sue for after voter registration deadlines

We have the people, we just need the votes!

They would stop women from voting if they could get away with it.

Good, this will drive more voters to the Dem side. Thanks SCOTUS for not being smart enough to lay low less than a month before the election. Effing fascists.
