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!

Look - yeah, i made a snark-ass comment.
Fuck the dems handling of this. Biden stance on this whole situation has been shameful and heartbreaking... Trump and any other Republican presidential pick would have hastened this tragedy 10 fold. This is the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Protest all you want - but when it comes down to it - IN THE USA - you have to vote blue to get ANY sort of centrist or SLIGHTLY left leaning anything. Even if you have two shit choices, its up to you to find what good you can make of the 2 choices you have.
Fundamental change is not coming to the american 2 party system within 3 months of the election.
Im dug in on this so continuing to talk about it right now will do no good for either of us. You do what you will with your vote. its a free country - for now.
I'm already voting for Harris.
I hope she puts some daylight between her position and Bidenyahu's. I'm just exhausted with the whole "everyone who is upset about genocide wants Trump" crap that the pro-genocide wing of the Democratic Party keeps pulling. Also, there shouldn't be a pro-genocide wing of either fucking party, but this is the howling maelstrom of fresh misery we inhabit, so...
I'm not denying pro genocide in both parties - I think it's disgusting. I just know that Dems are the lesser evil.
Hard agree with you.
So do I. I resent them for taking advantage of the situation. I miss being able to vote without needing a long shower afterwards.
