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!

If you are trying to imply Democrats are leftists you are fucking delusional. Liberals don't understand class unity and do everything they can to prevent it from happening.
Where in the fuck did I say anything like that? Stop projecting your own shit on to me. The Democrats are a corporatist right wing party that I only am willing to vote for because the opposition is literally fascist. Just because I am stuck in a broken system doesn't mean that I support it in any way other than harm reduction. Try and look at my name again before you assume shit about me.
The people you are voting for are literal fascists. Your name is irrelevant, if you are supporting enablers of fascism like Democrats that makes you a democrat
TIL The Baha'i Faith doesn't exist. You are being tankie-ish with this gatekeeping. We have exactly two options. No more, no less. Until we can get rid of our first genuinely honest mistake, FPTP will consistently make the vote a decision between literal evil, and harm reduction. I vote for harm reduction, despite calling them and telling them how to be better once a week. I don't have a better option, because sitting out allows fascism to take over.
Please tell me, a former USN Captain, an entrepreneur, and a finally retired food Safety manager, IT manager, and QA manager, as well as a literal Jack of All Trades, a master of a few, and a literal Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor, what the ever loving fuck I can do? I am not allowed to be part of a political party, I'm only allowed to vote, protest, and take up arms against threats to my community.
The first two I'm already doing.
YOU have 2 options, you can't get rid of a system you're actively participating in. This mentality is like that of the abused spouse, 'he beats me but I love him so much' so the beating either gets worse, and/or the spouse is eventually killed from it.
The rest of us will refuse to participate in a system of exploitation and death. You as an individual person can't do shit to create change, millions of us collectively can.
