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.

Here it is for anyone who wants a live fact checker.
It's the best I could find so far, but I'll update if I find one better.
So far, Hillary's acting very dignified and well-spoken, which one could have said the same about Trump until he opened his mouth and began to descend back into his almost memetic mannerisms.
"If you spend all your heart / On something that has died / You are not alive and that can't be a life"He mentioned the "very small loan" he got from his father. What was that again - a million dollars?
Oh God! Natural light!Because he's not made a career of it, or some shit. Because running for president totally doesn't make you a politician. It's all part of the memetic loathing of politicians that has been present in American culture for decades so quite a few have tried to paint themselves as outsiders to the system somehow. All while trying to convince people to give them the job within the system.
Please don't double post.

When Republicans say "classist," they mean "hates rich people for no reason and wants to steal from them to give to the undeserving."
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.

I almost feel bad for Trump. He doesn't stand a chance against Hillary. His rhetoric is terrible!
