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!

Well, I'm not sure why I'd even be running for a nomination to your "Racism Party™", but I would be pretty unsurprised when I didn't win.
I don't understand why you'd have me running in that party in the first place so I don't know what answer you're fishing for here.
Why did you skip over the part where I showed consideration of how weak and bad the third party candidates are and the other strategy of not voting at all before arriving at the blue candidate?
Now you're just straight up strawmanning.
I actually have voted third party, and it got us the 2nd Iraq war. You're welcome. So you can see when I advocate against weak third party votes, its because I don't want a repeat of arguably the USAs first 21st century geopolitical catastrophe and millions of lives lost needlessly in Iraq.
Oh shit! So easy! Why didn't I think of that?!
When I read your first post here, I saw your line of thought was pretty thin, but there might be something of substance there. I can see what I thought was substance in your post was a mirage. It was a mistake to waste my time engaging with you.
Have a nice day.
You're the one advocating to run for genocidal far-right jingoist party.
You're intentionally avoiding the point because you know I am right at this point.
You: "vote blue no matter who."
Me: "You're saying we should vote blue no matter."
You: "STRAW MAN STRAW MAN"
This is just copium. You have conceded my entire argument. You cannot uphold the position that we should mindlessly "vote blue no matter who," so you intentionally avoid the point because you know mindlessly voting for genocidal fascists is not a tenable position.
There is no point of discussing further as you have already conceded my argument but have too big of an ego to admit it.
no. al gore won that election. voting for the so-called third party had no bearing on the outcome.
