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!

No. Fuck no. Hell the fuck no. He can keep doing his attack dog shit, that's fine he IS NOT presidential material. He is not what this conversation ntry needs to fix the shit Republicans have deliberately broken.
he's not even the one doing it. Camille Zapata is. We should support her running for president.
That is exactly the kind of person we need to win elections though.
No, we need someone who can actually get shit done. Not someone who is only good at performative shows.
#1 prereq to get shit done is to get elected.
Well that sure would be easier if Democrats kept their fingers off the scale when popular candidates show up.
Last I heard everybody gets one vote.
Last I heard "...the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts..."
You heard wrong. Most of the country doesn't even get an active primary to vote in. The first couple states, which never change, usually determine everything.
Sure. But not as the candidate.
So let's say it does come down to Newsom v Vance. You really going to sit it out?
Oh I'll certainly vote, just not for a Capitalist. Just like I've done for every elected position since 2012.
So you'll make sure your vote doesn't count. Nice strat! Really gonna achieve change there big guy. Lol.
My City Councilman is a Socialist, so....
We aren't talking about city council...we are talking about the presidential election which has now turned America into an outright fascist police state.
Better vote for a socialist next time instead of Fascism-lite, after-all it is the least you can do.
No. I will vote for a candidate that has a chance. If the presidential candidate is a socialist and has a chance, absolutely. Otherwise, I'll be voting for whatever isn't Trump or MAGA.
Lots of candidates have a chance in a democracy, you just have to vote for them. Of course this is the whole point of a democracy right? Do you have special knowledge about which candidates "have a chance?"
Don't be obtuse.
Yes. Will leave it blank until Dems put forward a candidate with proven policy
Rofl that's so pathetic.
Yea, voting for candidates who support the same policies you do is pathetic… haha
I know blue maga has been gas lighting you your whole life…. But damn.
Refusing to vote instead of voting for the clearly better option is absolutely pathetic. Yes. Making posts cussing at people and accusing them of helping Trump get power and in other posts making statements that they themselves won't vote in the presidential election if it's not their perfect candidate.
Pathetic.
