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!

two of our 46 presidents have been from so-called third parties.
this "analysis" is garbage
The reason we're in this mess is because of political tribalism. If we actually want different candidates, we gotta vote for them.
Cool, do that in the next primary, but for now let's pick one of the real options on the table.
I'm doing it in these primaries. Why would I take a primary off?
Well, that's good. Unfortunately lots of people don't vote in the primary, and then complain about their options in the general election.
Not true.
But even if it were, then the system is fucked and it deserves to burn.
This is ridiculous. If you can’t have it exactly your way then just elect a litteral authoritarian dictator and cause the end of the country? Ok dude I guess you do you
You sound like you dont like democracy.
Democracy is your way or burn it down?
No. You don’t like democracy - you’re helping to elect a literal dictator!
No I'm voting for who Id like to vote for.
That's how democracy works.
Sorry you're not enjoying democracy.
We have a two party system. You have two realistic choices. You can vote for Mickey Mouse if you want - he won’t become president.
Sorry you don’t understand how it works.
lol, no you're still not getting it.
In democracy, citizens voice opinions, even if they differ. Disagreement is expected and accepted. However, your frustration suggests discomfort with this democratic aspect. If you need clarification, all hope may be lost.
i had 4 candidates on my last presidential ballot. i expect the same or more this time around.
