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!

Welcome to fascism.
I hope that Jill Stein vote sticks in your larynx.
According to the electoral college, every state either voted 100% for trump or harris. So no one voted for Jil Stein. And if you’re in a red state, NO ONE VOTED FOR HARRIS EITHER, and vice versa. Stop purposely being stupid of this fact.
I don't agree with that strategy either, but she didn't carry enough votes to have made the difference anyway...
Blame the non-voters for supporting this not the voters that didn’t vote for this.
I’ll blame both. Tossing away a vote on a guaranteed loser candidate is the exact same as stepping aside and allowing fascism free rein.
People vote 3rd party to be able to smugly claim they voted while pretending to not be part of what caused the issue.
I’ll say it clearly so it’s easier understood:
WHERE YOU ASSUMED YOU WERE BEING ASKED TO VOTE DEMOCRAT- YOU WERE BEING ASKED TO VOTE AGAINST FASCISM.
I seriously don’t know how this was so difficult that over 4 million people couldn’t figure it out
Voting for a candidate that can't win is worse than not voting. Third-parties actively harmed the process and used resources that could have been spent preventing this bullshit.
We live in a 2-party system. If you aren't happy with the Dems, make that displeasure known in the primaries, then vote against the fascists in the general election no matter what. It's not that fucking complicated.
Yeah, to al the assholes who decided not to vote for a progressive
We could've had West abolish prisons
Fucking hilarious! Hey, real quick, what’s West been up to since November?
Remember when we tried to tell you that he and all the rest of the party dividers would disappear post-election?
Yeah. Maybe you’ll listen next time. That dude didn’t give a shit. He’s paid to split the vote and that’s what he does.
