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!

God dammit. You people just don't learn.
We're both going to be stuck with a republican because you keep repeating the same mistakes.
Both of your comments were a complete waste of energy and did nothing to change my stance. You need to direct that energy towards the people voting for the hillary clintons and joe bidens over the bernie sanders and AOCs.
Now, are you going to waste more energy or finally learn and do something different? I know what I'll put my money on!
Have the day you protest-voted for. Keep protest voting and losing. Keep letting your rights get eroded because your perfect candidate isn't on the ballot. But hey, if you protest vote enough, you might not have to vote anymore, the candidate that you allowed to take the white house said so.
Yeah, it's pointless trying to reason with people like you.
The feeling is mutual. Have fun in trump land, glad I'm not there.
That's what I've been saying from the beginning. You are wasting your energy trying to get someone like me to change my mind.
You should've been directing that energy towards those voting for establishment candidates, but you don't learn so here we are.
Understood, you support MAGA and everything they're doing. Have the day you voted for.
No, you obviously haven't. You live in a two-party system, so either you support the current regime, or you're hoping that it'll trigger a revolution - which did not turn out all that great the last time your country tried it.
I'm not even sure if you've figured out yet that I'm not American, though your protest vote did finally give us the kick in the ass to start finding more reliable trade partners, thanks for that :)
Still wasting your energy.
Still not learning.
Keep going, you just prove me right every time.
