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 the Democrats are truly worried about losing votes to a third party, they could adopt policies that actually reflect the values of those voters instead of just expecting us to fall in line.
My vote isn’t driven by fear; it's driven by the need for real change, not the same old promises. If Harris loses by such a slim margin, it’s not the fault of third-party voters—it’s the Democrats’ failure to address the issues that matter to us.
The time for Dems to worry was way back when voters had the opportunity to do so strategically and completely avoid the calamity. Now, they are too busy trying to filibuster and otherwise block all the far-right and autocratic BS Trump and the Reps attempt to ram through congress. That and whether they should buy a time-share in the Bahamas.
The only thing that matters to you and your bunk-mates now is consuming enough calories to stay alive. Well, that and the H3Z2 virus that's rampaging through the squalor of your pens. You've even stopped caring about Palestine as you spend your nights praying for a vaccine. Instead, Trump issues bleach and syringes, or a horse diuretic (your choice) to test as potential cures.
IF ONLY there was a way these poor prisoners could have voted strategically to avoid all this completely unnecessary suffering only they (and the Palestinians) are experiencing.
Nothing you are saying scares me or makes me want to change my vote.
I, and many others, won't be voting for your candidate. Accept it.
What a coincidence. That's exactly what they put on the tombstone of the mass grave just outside the compound. Nobody ever puts flowers on it though.
If only this tragedy could have been avoided by somehow strategically voting to keep Trump out of office.
If only Democrats wouldn't have been such jerks to people who didn't believe in everything they did. Oh well.
Thanks for proving this is about retribution and not ideals. Pleased to meet the real you for once.
Nice try. But totally wrong. Nothing about retribution from me. I was talking about others and what could be their motivations. Maybe democrats shouldn't be such jerks to people that don't belive in everything they do. You all are not even trying to get 3rd party voters on your side. You just go straight to calling them idiots.
