Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Day 1 was a barn burner. I personally think Day 2 was fine, but not to the same level. We'll see where day 3 takes us!

Scheduled speakers:

People will find a reason to not vote Democrat until the party no longer exists

And as always, the assumption that any objection to genocide means a childish refusal to vote.

Have you considered that the Israeli propaganda apparatus is powerful enough to give the election to Trump, given a flick of a switch?

We have to continue supporting genocide because you've bought the bigoted conspiracy theory that The Jews control everything? Congratulations on the single worst possible excuse for supporting genocide. Please, no one come up with a worse one.

Every one of you silly fucks need to sit down and shut the fuck up

Centrism has no other message. None.

LMFAO deleting the comment only proves the point, and your butchery of my comment is the icing

Since they deleted it, I very specifically said “until after the Democrats are elected”.

Because if these people really thought the Republicans were going to listen, they would have protested at the RNC. Did they protest at the RNC?

Also, Using the killnet

Also, one link Could bring more simple ones

You say one bad thing against Israel, and now Im the bot, huh? Maybe use some foresight? Maybe hurting the Democrats is literally hurting yourselves? If Trump wins, I’m not thinking of Gazans. I’m thinking of you. Of all those people on campuses and storming the DNC of all fucking places to wipe their asses, instead of getting with the program so their voices can be heard like everyone else.

We both know centrists' insistence on silence won't end there or ever.
