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!

Right there with you, I chose the lesser of two evils in my mind, simply because there were no options to pick from. I did vote Sanders simply because it was a refreshing and mature take on the things that mattered in my mind to society, not the Red vs. Blue rhetoric, finger point, gas lighting debauchery that picked up since Trump joined in with politics. Democrats are largely playing by the book while Republicans are burning it, the we need to have a third party that douses the party formerly comprised of Conservatives in gasoline and watch them burn while simultaneously archiving the democratic senior leadership. AOC is a breath of fresh air and someone that at least has some empathy and life experience to the average American, not these silver spoon fed premadonna's that play at leaders. These people spend millions to keep their cushy gigs, while single mothers skip meals just to feed their kids. Disgusting in my mind and I am only a few years younger than yourself, enough is enough already, but it would have to be a radical hard fought battle at this point to pull a third party out of the rubble that is the politics of this country at this point. All this talk of owning the woke, well guess what, it seems more are waking up to your bullshit and you are fire selling the country cause you see the end of the tunnel and its not light.
