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!

"Socialist Mormon Satanist", aka UniversalMonk.
No, you're not. You're not any of the above.
I was raised Mormon, and I am an RM. I'm a Ricks College--now BYU-I--alumn. I had my records removed almost 20 years ago, was a born-again, evangelical atheist for a while, and I've been an active and open Satanist for the last 10.
Your online presence and words scream "active Mormon", not Satanist, or socialist. The things you promote--racism, misogyny, far-right ideology (such as, for instance, all the Ricks College garbage)--are in-line with both historical Mormonism as well as contemporary practices.

Monk's script:
- "I didn't write the article, I just posted it. " (even though posting propaganda is the same thing as writing it)
- "if you feel that the article is against the rules, let the mods know" (even though no one said Monk was breaking the rules by posting propaganda)
- "I'm not voting for Kamala or Trump" (even though a vote for third parties is just going to empower a vote for Trump)
- Some form of sarcastic, fake "thank you" even though no one asked for their thanks
You forgot Smiley faces and calling you friend.
And demanding proof for otherwise reasonable claims.
(Oh. And for proof check the modlog. They caught a 3day for sealioning.)

This says a lot about West’s base lol
He has fewer Republicans endorsing him than Kamala does
Rates matter, not raw numbers

"I live in California, where the electoral outcome we can take as settled. That fact affords me the luxury to vote my conscience."
Yeah, literally doesn't matter who they vote for.
At the very least, since it's a protest vote no matter what, I'm glad there's one more Republican with the balls to take a stance against the GOP guy.
I mean maybe I'm just in a state that give me this option others don't have, but the way I do that is voting for the candidate (in this case Kamala) but under the working families party as opposed to Democrat and I registered as an independent so ~~i'm not registered on a kill list when things go nutty~~ they show a loss of support.

Do what now? You mean like on your ballot Kamala is listed twice?
Yeah, I think it's a NY thing but people can register with multiple parties so Kamala shows up under Democrat and working families party. Trump shows up under the Republican party and the Conservative party.
That's wild.
