Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Oh...
You believe the third of the country that dont vote because both parties are too similar are between the two parties policy wise...
There's zero evidence of that
And when you ask them in polls, they say both parties are too right wing.
We'd see the same amount, they say Biden is a goddamn communist. The good part of them always saying that, is it literally doesn't fucking matter how progressive the dem is.
None of what you're saying is factually correct, but I guess we're all entitled to opinions.
You also ignore the part I knew you would:
There's no such thing as a perfect candidate, but it's pretty hard to find one worse than Biden that still has a D next to their name.
Any candidate that the Left would pick would instantly be torn apart for not being perfect. Y'all would turn on Bernie too. Only perfection is good enough for you, and perfection doesn't exist. That's why the only candidates you can endorse are those that haven't had a realistic shot of winning before. You just don't know enough about them to find something to disqualify them in your eyes.
This is called an echo chamber and is not reality.
You're fucking exhausting.
And I'm sure you're the type of person who thinks "winning" an exchange is replying last, so congrats! You'll always "win" with me now because I'll never see a single comment you ever make again.
Have fun "winning"
And so the echo chamber deepens rofl
