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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Seeing the beginning of his announcement, it did not seem like it was going to be a drop out one but him doubling down on running

Is this bait or are you actually 14? There are a group of people engaged in genocide and performing a fascist coup, this guy ran on a "stop the genocide and fascist coup" platform. Barring the existence of a legitimate alternative (and let's be honest, there wasn't) please, for the love of god, explain to me why I should care about literally anything but the fact that he wants to stop the genocide and the fascists?

When the gestapo come to your door and you need to defend yourself are you going to not reach for a gun because that would imply tacit approval for the gun lobby?

So you support the man with a gestapo tattoo to stop the gestapo. Very smart. Hitler has a final solution to all your problems too.

Btw I own a gun and I know how to use it. I'd rather be judged by 12 for shooting ICE than carried by 6.

Edit: hey @null@piefed.nullspace.lol nice to see you continuing to stalk and downvote me. You’re my most dedicated fan by far. :P

How goes defending pedophile rapists? Poorly still, I assume. Womp womp.
