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!

I'm going to vote for Harris because Trump is an existential threat to the US and the tiny shred of actual democracy we still have left, but I'm getting really damn tired of having a choice between the conservative party cosplaying as liberals and the fascist party cosplaying as conservatives. First past the post may very well be the worst choice in the history of the US in terms of damage it has done to this country.
Ranked choice, single transferable vote, alternative vote...really anything besides first past the post.
you ain't wromg
weed is legal. fuck them.

damn straight.
You're not wrong. Please continue to spread the word with everyone you know.
Feeling like you're always voting strategically, feeling like your vote doesn't matter especially in a deep red or blue state, or so much money in politics... Campaign finance / election reform is the number one issue.
There needs to be a growing grassroots movement state by state to push for a new Constitutional Amendment.
ActBlue says grassroots donors contributed more than $100 million during the DNC this week. Just during the hour after Vice President Harris' acceptance speech, donors sent $7.2 million to Democratic candidates through the platform.
I do t watch shit like this, but it’s still frightening that the numbers are so close.
I didn't even contribute to that number, I think. I watched it live online, but it sounds like it's TV only? Who even still has TV, pfft.
There's plenty of places to watch. I think it was live on PlutoTV
20 minutes of screaming, ovations and audience shots.
Is this… politics?
