The General US Politics Thread

Go To

Nov 2023 Mod notice:


There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.

If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Trump keeps talking as if Biden was actively president during the Obama years.

Well my sisters watching the debate for class, some relatives arrived, & when my sister staunchly stated she doesn't support Trump, he mentioned he's voting for Trump when I stated "Why would Cubans vote for Trump? He'd be just another dictator."

It looks bad but he ain't exactly wrong. He's not taking any sh-t at this point.

You know... I kind of wonder why they don't do that. I guess they never needed to before.
