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!

Jesus fucking Christ this is getting old. Give people a good fucking reason to vote and they'll vote. "That narcissist is more fascistic and more willing to support genocide than this corporate hack that only dabbles in appealing to fascists and at least performatively complains about small bit of the genocide... why the fuck didn't you vote for them?"
I get it. I'm politically active and I know it's a fucking game that needs to be played. I voted for Harris because I understand that one is significantly, objectively worse than the other. However, I can put myself in someone else's shoes and empathize.
How about just a choice that doesn't make me feel like we're slipping into a corporate hellscape? Hell, I'm getting tired of the game myself. Every year I vote for the lesser evil party and every year it feels like both parties get more evil overall. D's are neoliberal cowards eating billionaire dicks and willing to sustain the status quo and R's are just fucking fascists. The D's make sure the R's get some of what they want to keep the D voters motivated to vote D and kneecap any D's that might rock the boat.
I get that the fascists are for real and not a threat to be ignored. Hence, I do my part. That just isn't all that motivating anymore, especially when the lesser evil bets on winning votes from moderates by... appeasing fascists and begging for donations from billionaires? I guess they think it's safer than rocking the boat?
Work to actually motivate people. Elevate candidates that care about something other than their own power and influence, or at least listen to people who genuinely care.
I know it doesn't make you feel superior and better than everyone else but if you keep at it you'll actually make a difference.
