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!

When the choice is genocide or genocide the result would always be president Nazi.
Yeah and continuing to sit out or voting Republicans will surely make the change you're looking for happen.
Just as long as you're content with your decisions and accept that the reality of your consequences and that whatever happens going forward your actions helped cause it.
At one point you need to draw a red line in the sand and say I will not participate in the problem. A distinct lack of morality can be observed.
Thanks to you, many people, self included, are planning on leaving the country since we are no longer recognized as people by the federal government.
Thanks to you, eggs are $15 a dozen
Thanks to you, teachers are absolutely horrified by what they're being told to do
Thanks to you, immigrants everywhere are living in fear, even in their own homes, regardless of legal status
Thanks to you, Apartheid Hitler has everyone's social security information
Thanks to you, they're building concentration camps at GitMo
Thanks to you, formerly eradicated diseases are making a comeback. Enjoy polio!
Thanks to you, skilled women, BIPOC, and disabled workers everywhere are losing their jobs to actual DEI hires
So yeah, thanks for that. You're responsible for this. But at least Gaza is saved right?
Democrats already destroyed Gaza.
Good luck with that.
Thanks but I'll continue voting in every election, every primary, for every progressive despite how tiring and disappointing it can be and not throw away the progress made. Provided we can still do that after another four years.
Progress? What progress have you made?
Your strategy only leads to regression. That much should be clear to anyone observing history for the last decades.
You don't see progress so be it. I'm not about to tell you what you perceive, I'm not going to change your mind here. I'm glad to see that there's even something called The Squad in congress but clearly you don't. So feel free to continue to not vote, not make difference at all, make no progress.
This is where we part ways on this conversation. Good luck with things going forward and the choices you made and will make and have a good day.
