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!

Seriously, fuck that. Pick a damn lane, you don't not vote when Hitler/his modern day political equivalents are in the picture...
What's Nikki Haley's deal besides she's a she?
Then we should all vote for the guy that allowing genocide like Hitler did, right?!? Because genocide is the lesser evil, right?
I think you shouldn't do what actual Hitler's protègé wants and
not voteBiden was never getting my vote anyway. Red fascist, blue fascist, its all fascism. And there is NO acceptable level of evil.
Does it bother you that you're kind of doing what Republicans "want you to do" and disenfranchise yourself reflexively?
Definitely interestedin your perspectives but I would also like to get your commentary on the notion :)
I'm not disenfranchised, the oligarchy has done this
So you're bucking what Repubs want?
I disdain republicans as much as I do democrats. Both uphold white supremacy with an air of arrogance.
I hate their disingenuousness but they are kind of the last stop before total fascism and modern-day...I dunno. Like, someone should model out whats going to happen if Trump wins. Do a horror movie like The Purge 2 or something
Dems do nothing to prevent or roll back some of the harmful legislation. Their ratchet effect prevents it from slipping back.
I mean...
To be clear: I put a frowny face because it's an option some people take, but I wasn't endorsing it.
Ah k but I still think its worthwhile to address it, I think I actually upvoted you because I wanted to take a stab at the idea not you ;)
Edit: Ya I definitely upvoted u. I'm weird like that, a comment has to be pretty agregious or me pretty out of sorts to generally downvote something I think is relevant even if its disagreeable
Fair enough
