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.

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!

"everyone I don't like is all the same".
How do you extremists get made, anyway?
I didn't see that in OPs comment. Would you mind explaining where you gathered that from?
This cat has been lumping 90% of the country together for months now, we've gone back and forth on it before. There seem to be zero colors asides black and white in his eyes.
I've been curious where the hell he came from for awhile now.
It should be pretty damn clear there's differences between an outright fascist and a generic pro-business idiot.
edit for typo
Wonder if them and that ozma person are the same or just part of the same group of idiots? They both give bad takes trying to convince people to either not vote or vote third party. Which means they are either the mentally challenged from r/libertarian and/or r/centrist or outright Trump lovers trying to masquerade as something else.
ozma isn't as bad imo.
This cat is a malicious commenter that shits on almost everything. ozma posts news articles and pushes on some genuinely important issues.
I argue with ozma from time to time, I definitely don't always agree with their stances, but I have no real problems with them. I think people like that are important in a healthy democracy. Not a troll imo.
This one though, has me doubting sometimes.
Haley's domestic policy stance is basically the same as Trump's. They do differ on foreign policy, and Haley is arguably more sane as she isn't obviously supporting Putin's goals.
It's not "extremist" to say that two candidates from the Republican party are similar - they are in fact, similar. Haley's campaign tagline is basically "not Trump".
Haley does not have the Heritage Foundation's 2025 plan in the wings. She would probably not have done a Jan 6th. If you can't see the difference between a fascist and a shitty Mitch McConnell type, the problem with our country is you.
Nuance and details are important. People's bullshit gut checks based on their feelings are not.

Pointing out that the Democrats are bad is not the same as saying 'both sides are the same'. Sure, Biden is infinitely better than the alternative, but it would be really nice to have some actually good options instead of just lesser evil
Dude's comment was clearly saying that Trump and Haley were the same. If someone cannot see the very clear and obvious differences between the two, their brainwashing has been strong.
Except I wonder if its brainwashing or just trolling.
Lol the trump x Haley comparison is irrelevant
First because she never really had a chance to win the primaries against the maga cult
And second because even if she did, being part of the republican party these days is more than enough reason to assume she's a fascist asshole. Does it matter if she's a slightly less bad fascist asshole? (And if you wanna reduce it to "everyone I don't like is all the same" that's fine with me)
If you don't acknowledge the repubs trying to fight against the fascist slide inside their own party, you're just helping fascists get what they want. They're doing a political purge. This should be remembered.
If this is republicans trying to purge their ranks, they're doing a shit job of it by putting forth a candidate who openly says she's going to pardon the fascist being "purged" for the sake of moving on and unity. That alone is reason enough to not buy them being different enough to care.
Until they're willing to crush that wing of the party, they're still complicit. And that's not me helping the fascists, that's me not letting the less extreme wing cover for the alt-reich wing they've been cozying up to for years. Hell, the Nazis are openly hanging out with them at cpac....
Probably don't want to just believe that her words reflect her stances. Much like McConnell, she'll say whatever she thinks she needs to say to help accomplish her personal goals.
World is a complicated place, especially when you're trying to not fall quickly to a purge, which is pretty clearly a goal she has. Otherwise she'd be gone by now.
Honestly, at some point the "good" republicans are probably going to have to jump ship and start a new party, because the republican base has shown they're too focused on the trumpist candidates. I'm not confident that any of them have the stones to do it, though. But maybe if they get spanked in November they'll finally see the writing on the wall.
Let Desi Lydic make the case for Haley vs. a moderate.
