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!

If someone though Harris is far left then that person wasn't gonna vote for her anyways. Just as if someone didn't vote for Trump "because Harris said he is far right".

And yesterday some idiot told me that voting for Harris is the same as voting for Reagan, did that cost her the election too?

Voting for Harris was voting for Cheney, who is barely to the left of Trump

Sometimes you need to team up with your sworn enemies to fight a greater threat. But people like you can't tell the difference...because of political near-sightedness.

Liberals are right-wing. That's part of why they NEVER call themselves left-wing.

No one is ever pure enough to be truly left wing, are they?

A lot of people felt poor and blamed Biden for it.

Single issue voters and people who got too comfortable and stayed home cost her the election.
I wonder if they'll still think their protest vote was worth it when Palestine is glass 6 months from now.

Ok, but what are you doing to resist the genocide in palestine? Just laughing at those who care? Posting memes crying about blowing an election? Typical lib.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, for one, I voted against the orange piece of shit who wanted to expand the genocide further than it already is.

I think they mean voting isn't enough and we all need to shit post harder
