Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

These are just polls, so vote!

Hopefully these trends will inspire people in states that have been consistently red that a flip this election is possible!

Sure is. Turns out, the left is comprised of humans with feelings. I don’t know why you keep trying to mock something I haven’t said.

If the supposed logical left voter actually relies on feelings to vote, then they shouldn't portray that their non-voting or protest voting is logical, or sensible, or rational, or intelligent in any way. Or effective for that matter.

You really are back to feelings too.

how I’ve been arguing all this

Again, I'm talking: "If all these leftists that don’t vote in protest", and trying to keep it to the broad they. (I do however address you specifically when you keep trying to jab me specifically). I remember you, you're the person that thinks everything is pointed specifically and directly and individually at you the individual person and user. The lesson you should learn this time is that not everything in life is aimed at you specifically.

I was talking about broad groups and trying to keep it to "they", but you seem to take that extremely personally and you respond personally. And then when I discuss it broadly like I was originally, you then demand "tell me how I've been ...". Notice that? You take broad things very personally, then demand how you specifically argued that. It's quite an odd trick to say the least. Especially when you entered my reply to someone else. Again, The lesson you should learn this time is that not everything in life is aimed at you specifically.

Hopefully that will suffice to end our conversation this time.
