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!

You said it bud, but when the auroritarianism of the right comes, don't cry that you waste your vote.
Do you honestly think Republicans will never win another election for President? Fascism is here, and there will be a dictatorship. One could argue that the corporatist capture of the government is a de facto dictatorship of the rich.
Republican win in base of lies, racism and hate it is just like that.
Lol, you really don't know rhat a dictatorship is. And the only risk od that is the republican party.
Dude, I’m nearly 65 years old. So tired of people telling me what I don’t know. I know how to use the internet,
Did you notice what the angry cheeto said about being a dictator?
Good for you for being able to "google" something, but darn it, the fact that the mango mussolinni tries to use the power to his advantage and openly said that he will use said power to hit the opposition and be a "dictator only for one day" makes me realize that you don't even know what he is going to do.
And you do? Why are you wasting your talents on here? Go save the world.
I just like ro.point out the hypocrisy and the stupid comments some people do.
So to continue, do you really thought that this fallacy would land?
Can I ask if English is your first language? I’m not sure what you are asking.
Si after one fallacy another. Well i understand that you are not that intelligent to see an error of typing. Figures why you said thise stupid things.
"Whelp, the world's gonna end some day, might as well end it sooner."
One could argue that fascism is fascism and that the privileges afforded to the wealthy is a flaw or possibly a feature of capitalism.
Ergo, capitalism facilitates fascism. Thanks for helping me get there.
That wasn't your argument, but okay. If your argument is that we should dismantle capitalism, then voting for a third party is not gonna do that, unless you want some type of authoritarian regime to win that is eventually overthrown and replaced, which isn't a solid plan either.
If someone has a solid plan. I’ll make time. The goal is to shift the Overton Window to the left. And we can’t do that by voting for the status quo.
