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!

Democrats spent the last year asking where their Joe Rogan was. Hasan Piker is one of the few left-wing figures with the audience they covet — but the party is deeply hostile to the spontaneity and independence that make figures like him appealing.

but you are not entitled to your own facts.

But me saying that I didn't like Harris so I chose to vote third party, is not giving false facts. So I shouldn't have been censored. If you think that is worthy of censorship, then that says a lot about you. lol

Nazi is as nazi does. Doing things that further the objectives of nazis makes you their ally. If you don’t like being accurately described that way, stop helping the nazis!

Sigh...and so it begins. I'm not a nazi just because I voted third party. lol I'm glad you are saying this in this thread tho, so people can see what it's like.

The notion that third parties are viable in the Presidential election -- especially when it's only a month or two away and most people don't have a clue who the third-party candidates even are! -- is 100% misinformation.

I never said anything of the sort. I said I was proud to vote third party, and I'm still proud to. And I will in the next election too. :)

So back in 2024 you were intentionally telling people to do a thing you yourself didn't believe would work? And then you wondered why people attacked you for it?

I didn't tell anyone to do anything. I told my thoughts about how I was gonna vote and why I came to that conclusion.

I think people should vote for whoever they want to win. We, as citizens, have that right. I supported it then, I support it now.

Heck vote for Trump if ya want to. I certainly wouldn't, but i don't think you should be banned anywhere for saying you would. Part of being part of a democracy is accepting that not everyone agrees with you. And that's ok.

We are allowed to vote for whoever we want. And I did. And said why I did. And I will do again in the future.

Even when the vote is to end the democracy and replace it with a totalitarian dictatorship? 'Cause that's what fucking happened.

Yep, welcome to democracy. If the dems want to win, they should pick better candidates that people want to vote for.
