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!

Considering Trump has indicated he aims to abolish elections there is no upside at all in voting anything but Democrats.
I'm not afraid of Trump. He's an idiot and has no chance of winning. Even if people vote 3rd party.
Your confidence is not warranted
And yet, here I am with it anyway. Also, I'm not afraid of him whether he wins or loses.
I’m a straight white married dad and I’m not afraid for me. But I have LGBT relatives who I absolutely fear would be at the very least more discriminated against, not by trump directly, but by the fucking douchbag Christian right who think they’ll be running the place.
The problem with Cheeto Mussolini is that he’s only worried about his own outcome, and if it doesn’t affect him, he’ll let whichever group he owes the most do whatever they want. And they have a plan this time since last time he wasn’t supposed to win either.
Trump is running for president though, not them.
It's a good thing project 2025 isn't real /s
Ah, good thing Trump isn't aligned with the Christian Right. /s
They don't run things. If you think Trump is an actual Christian and cares about that (besides playing up to them sometimes to get some votes), then I don't know what else to tell you.
Besides, I don't care if Trump gets elected. I'm not afraid of him.
You can care about him and be afraid of him all you want. That's totally your right. I'm not going that direction though.
I respect and support your right to have your own opinions and to vote for whoever you choose. Respect my right to do the same.
Yeah, I expected as much. You're a Trump Supporter after all.
No you don't.
No thanks. Trump Voters can burn in Hell.
Nope. Not voting for him, nor do I support him. But feel free to stay mad. Thank you!
He has a very real chance of winning. He has laid groundwork, like the Supreme Court. He has people around him that are working towards their shared goal - it’s by no means a one man operation. And they have prepared. So there’s a real chance this might be the last time you get to vote.
I don't believe he has that much power. I actually have zero fear of Trump. Not mocking that you do, I am simply saying that I do not.
Removed, civility.
I believe we should focus on discussing the content of the article I posted rather than personal attacks, in order to keep with the spirit of this community. Let's try to keep things civil. Thank you!
Imo, the duopoly feed that fear and gin it up
You fucking should be.
I'm not.
This is false.
You have your opinion. I have mine. They differ. And that's ok.
I actually don't think the opinion that lying is okay is okay. It actually seems pretty fucking awful. ThAnK yOu!!!!1
The statement “He has no chance of winning” is demonstrably false, it is not a matter of opinion. arguably, the statement about third parties is demonstrably false as well
It was my opinion. And it is still my opinion. You guys are crying over nothing. He won't win.
And I'm still voting 3rd party regardless.
You really don’t think it’s your personal vote that is the issue here?
If you have decided how you will vote, and it is a personal matter only, why have you posted 75+ articles making noise about fringe party candidates’ ballot access?
I didn't write the articles, friend. I didn't make the news, friend.
If you don't like the information in the news articles, please write to the news orgs and let them know why you think they should withhold the information from the American public.
The same reason I have posted over 300 articles and comments about socialists. My post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
Because I think the articles are interesting. Nothing I am posting breaks the rules of this sub.
Do you think information about third parties should be withheld and censored?
Please block me if you are tired of my posts and/or comments. Thank you!
This pathetic argument here is basically "I won't admit to being a liar, plus lying isn't illegal so you can stop me!"
Gee I wonder why you have full confidence that the guy won once, almost won again, and led in the polls for a while, won't win. It is a fucking mystery. Definitely not that you're lying. Nope. Thank you!!!
