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.

Obama fact-checks again.

But at least Schiefer made sure to shut Romney up this time.

It feels like Romney's rehearsing his entire platform at the last second.

Dad said that liberal states in general tend to do badly in terms of business because barriers are often put up. :/

Obama doesn't need the military vote and he's probably already lost it. If he needs to lose them and the hawks (which he probably can't win anyway) to gain the support of moderates who don't want an Bush Jr... so be it.

@408; isn't unemployment and welfare highest in Redder states?

I find it a bit hilarious that the male moderators were weaker than the female moderators.

@Chihuahua: Yep, that's why all the technology-based businesses are moving from Silicon Valley to Seattle. tongue
