Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Former President Donald Trump has revealed that Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein may be one of his "favorite politicians."

Trump, the Republican nominee, lavished unlikely praise on Stein, who is far to the left of him politically, during one of his final campaign rallies of the year in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday.

his favourite politician is the one who is actively running for office to “prevent kamala harris from getting elected”.

Maybe Trump supporters should vote for her then.

[–] Twentytwodividedby7 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No, that's the point of her candidacy. She's a useful idiot and the morons who vote for her are no different than voting for Trump. The only way Trump loses is with votes for Harris

[–] lennybird 18 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, agreed.

Trump supporters should still vote for Stein though, if Trump himself is saying it though! (if you're catching my drift, here).

They tried doing the same thing with RFK but he took votes from the wrong person. They really wanted a green party and an alternative "Democrat".

This news only confirms two things: Jill Stein was never an option and never had any intention of stopping what is happening in Gaza.

[–] NABDad 23 points 2 weeks ago

That's inaccurate.

Jill Stein was never an option and intended to help make what is happening in Gaza worse.

Got the same boss, don’t they.

Trump voters are dumb but I have to say, people voting for this woman are an unholy mix of supreme arrogance and supreme stupidity. Trump voters are right up there but I still give the edge to Jill Stein voters.

This is because of their conviction and belief that they are on the right side of the spectrum and will deny anything thrown at them to show what she is and what her purpose is. This is the arrogance and stupidity combined. Heck, the campaign spoke person even said it out loud; Jill Stein is there in the mix to prevent a Kamala win. Yet they still close their eyes and ears and vote for that russian stooge. Incredible.

My bet is they're both interested in selling of National Parks.

Shit Stain or Stalin's Shill, you pick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

The "eco-socialist" Jill Stein? Weird, huh?
