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!

Ozma, bruh. You really need to pick and choose to have an actual discussion. All you're doing is bringing minor gripes to a larger discussion. We have an existential crisis in this election, but there just isn't enough time in the day for any candidates to cover EVERY FUCKING THING conceivable to get whatever your vote looks like.
Shit is fucked up. People are trying to fix it. They're also trying to defeat a tyrant who aims to run rampage on the country as a whole. Baby steps.
Still vote Dem but stop pretending Harris and Walz are saints. You can still be informed about their records.
No one thinks they are saints. Give us a minute to celebrate having a non-geriatric candidate with a vp pick that isn't an incel, abuser, robot, or anti-lgbt closeted homosexual.
This. This all day. Like, read the fucking room.
It's like showing up to somebody's childhood birthday party and going, "Great party. It's a shame your parents are getting a divorce." We have all had to survive four years of Trump followed by a geriatric president people were lukewarm about and also more Trump.
I think it's okay to have some excitement, as a treat.
