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!

Oh no! The fascists and capitalists that run society have given us the two worst choices to vote for! You better pick one of them to keep the system happy, and don't consider voting for a third party...OR ELSE!
Defeat genocidejoe. Vote pirate. Or West.
Not when Trump is the alternative.
So you did it before and will do it after Trump?
Yes
There will always be a Boogeyman to fear, Trump is the current one. That's how the oligarchy stays in power
And your solution to neoliberalism is to put a Nazi in the Oval Office?
Blue fascist, red Nazi, doesn't matter. The quality of our lives does not improve.
Holy privilege Batman. Are trans people not included in your definition of "our lives"?
Did you just openly admit that you only care about straight white men?
Incredibly naive of you to assume I'm straight. The hollow platitudes coming from Democrats don't protect trans either. And quit using marginalized people as human shields to defend shitty politics while insisting they vote for the people keeping them marginalized.
Trans here. You're lying to me when you say I have nothing to lose from a Trump presidency, and you're either lying to yourself or lying about being queer.
What protections have Democrats extended for you? They talk about using the bathroom of choice but don't do shit that you have to live on the streets to do it, or have access to physical or mental health care that you may need, and basic cost of living is out of control. While Republicans have passed over 300 bills against the lgbtq+ community, Democrats have done shit at the federal level to counteract those laws. As someone that came out during Ronald Reagan's presidency, I've seen Democrats do nothing but shit on us while claiming to be an ally.
you can get married now though, right?
I don't give a fuck about being able to get married if others are still losing their rights.
Then you're advocating for more power for people who want to end your existence. Nice play, genius.
Democrats want to end our existence via social murder.
Quality of people's lives in the West Bank sure is better under Biden. Zionist.
Sure they are
The UN disagrees with you too
Adelson offered to pay to Trump what Biden is giving to her for free
everything is bad, everyone is a liar, everything is corrupt… Stop participating, disconnect. Right?
There are choices but voters are only concerned about being on the winning team.
This comment shows extreme historical ignorance
A historical evidence of democrats offering up a Boogeyman so they can hang onto power
Yeah you're in no way full of bullshit
When was the last time you voted for a candidate and not against one?
Irrelevant, but Obama, twice. So most of the times I have voted. Any other irrelevant ways you wanna be wrong?
Trump is the inevitable if you keep voting in genocidal trash like Biden that depresses voter turnout.
Accelerationists are far worse than MAGA. Because MAGA can claim ignorance.
You are threatening to purposely fuck up America unless your demands are heeded.
It’s fucking extortion.
Lets assume it is extortion.
Wouldnt it be irresponsible to not give them what the want with the stakes so high?
Never negotiate with anyone willing to sacrifice the freedoms and rights of others to get what they want.
Because it never stops.
America is already fucked up. The people who don't believe so are deluded or benefiting from the situation.
So you’re an admitted troll here to disrupt an election… got it.
That’s all I needed.
I've made no such admission. You just don't like the truth.
And what is the truth exactly? That you won’t cop to the fact that while you claim to care about genocide, you are entirely unwilling to stop it from getting exponentially worse?
You just don't like what you accidentally admitted
