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!

Ignoring them and making it so the only people trump voters talk to is other trump voters won't help anything at all.
It's not your responsibility, so don't feel like you have to personally...
But for fucks sake can people stop trying to convince everyone else not to try?
The smug Hillary shit didn't work when she did it. Biden got elected despite that attitude because Trump was in office, and it didn't work for Kamala either.
It's a shit strategy that's only effective in getting us shit presidents.
So go somewhere and really check out if that's your choice, but what in the hell do you think it will accomplish spending your time telling people not to try?
What logic have you gone thru that you think this is productive?
I spent the last 8 years or so trying to reprogram the human formerly known as my father. To reinforce that he was in the wrong my mother moved out after Jan 6th. I have not spoken with him since the day after Election Day and he was celebrating the win listening to the Woodie Guthrie anti-fascist protest music I had recently gotten him for his birthday.
If someone gets their head cut off, triage likely won't help anything...
That doesn't mean if someone cuts their hand cut off, you shrug and say they're as good as dead already.
Things are rarely binary, so saying a specific person is unsavable never means give up on every patient.
A big part of triage is evaluating if you can save a specific person, or if they're gone and helping someone else would be more beneficial overall.
You can win elections without converting Republicans. It's just as true for the prototypical "economically anxious" white working class dudes that leftists chase as it is for the "principled" Republicans the centrists are infatuated with.
Build a party by growing it among the apolitical and juicing turnout among your unlikely voters, not figuring out which vulnerable groups should be thrown under the bus for people who are ideologically aligned with your opponents. Build something there and maybe some of those oh so important Republican voters will come around, but it's time for people to wake up and stop pretending Republican voters are the key to winning elections.
