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 no! The fascists and capitalists that run society have given us the two worst choices to vote for! You better pick one of them to keep the system happy, and don't consider voting for a third party...OR ELSE!
Defeat genocidejoe. Vote pirate. Or West.
ROFL… I was young and idealistic once as well. The difference is, I was afforded the time to be ignorant.
You aren’t.
Pay attention. A lot is at stake here.
Keep voting for the "lesser evil"! I'm sure your descendants will think you were super intelligent and well informed!
…. Said the genius that thinks NOT doing something will bring change.
Listen up,
Someone is going to get elected whether you like it or not. By now you should probably know what Trump will do to the LGBTQ+, to women, to anyone that stands against the Christian ideology. Which pretty much includes everyone you know I would imagine.
So go ahead and admit right now that you either don’t give a fuck at all about anyone that will be hurt if drum wins,
Or admit you’re here in bad faith and go away.
Actually believing in change for the better must include acting on that belief. I can't say I want something better and then vote for genocidal garbage that we have now. So which of has is here in bad faith?
You’re getting genocidal garbage but doing nothing. And by now, it’s safe to say you know that. So aside from plainly admitting that you’re here to get Trump elected, how exactly are you going to reconcile knowing that
• Trump will be FAR worse to Palestine.
(Knowing this and still not voting to stop him from taking over America essentially is admitting you don’t give a shit about Palestine)
• Trump will scrap climate laws.
(Allowing him to get elected without even trying to stop it invalidates any argument you have in defense of protecting our environment)
• Trump will call for the executions of dozens of people on death row despite their legal freedom to challenge.
(How do you not give a shit about this?)
• Trump will revoke protections to trans rights
And lastly, pay attention. To this one:
Trump not only will help Israel win, he tore into Biden and got PISSED because he withheld weapons to them
Do you honestly think that sitting on your hands in November is going to stop any of this? Of course you don’t. This late in the game….
You know EXACTLY what you’re doing. And so does everyone else.
This is why brainlet teens shouldn't be allowed to vote
Well for better or worse they also tend to not vote. Which is why the parties ignore them anyway.
Difference is, in this case, they're not voting on purpose! 🤣
Same energy as high school students staging a "school walkout" to protest...um...whatever that thing was, who cares, no school woo!
50 years of lesser evil has made genocide acceptable
You haven't seen a history book before, have you??
Genocide has been accepted since before even the old testament when God himself decided to do it a few times. There is even specific passages about killing civilians including babies.
