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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

Wow...do you math?

So 30% of the 1% population segment of the US is for Jill Stein.

OH NO...what will the Democrats ever do....

How could Harris possibly go on to win without those hundreds of votes.

Edit: let me go deeper for you on this since you can't use functional math.

Let's say 3M Muslim voters in the US, and 30% (according to that link you sent) vote for Harris, 30% for Stein, and 40% for Trump (lulz not likely.

So then you take that 3M number and divide by population centers they live in. Let's just divide it up evenly across 50 states to be favorable for your argument even though that's not how that works, but whatever.

60k votes per state spread across districts, and we have..... zero impact at all in the national polling numbers for Harris.

So, no. You thinking the Muslim vote for Harris is needed is absolutely wrong. Fact of the matter s that's not where this segment lives at all. The more concentrated groups are in Urban areas of solidly Blue states Trump can't win anyway, and that's all Harris cares about. You think they don't do this math? 🤣
