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!

Nope.
This is the first year the parties boycotted the nopartisian comitte's debates and instead are holding their own with CNN as the host
Part of that deal, involves allowing ads.
So CNN makes a bunch of money, the parties get influence over the debate, the questions being asked, and who can attend (only the two parties)
Commercials are the most obvious part, but not the most impactful. This is dystopian as fuck and everyone seems to just be ok with it.
I'm not ok with it but I wasn't paying attention enough to make sense of it until reading your comment. I feel like people would be more upset if they realized what is lost.
Bruh this is nothing.
The DNC took away NH's delegates because they wouldn't violate state law by moving their primary.
Just a few years after their lawyers said that primary's can be rigged because they're non binding.
And people are just fucking going with it like it doesn't matter because it was going to be Biden anyways.
We're getting frog boiled and people just get pissed when it's brought up. I honestly don't know why people haven't been rioting
Oh no, the US is in danger of losing their massively influential 3rd parties!
