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!

Wow, I didn't realize Liz Cheney was on the ballot.
Hold on, I'm getting some updates in my ear piece..... They're telling me Cheney wasn't on the ballot, and you're just making excuses to justify why you couldn't vote for Kamala knowing that the donvict would be worse in every possible way.
Are you lying or just illiterate? Re-read my damn comment.
Not you "you", but the royal "you".
Whether or not you voted for Kamala, you're still trying to justify the actions of those who let this happen. So, sorry if you feel attacked for that, but if you do, it's probably for a good reason.
What part of
Didn't you understand?
More uncivil non-apology bullshit. You are lying and you need to knock it off.
More to the point, you need to knock off your toxic uncritical cheerleading for politics as a team sport. You, by setting low expectations, are the real reason the Democrats lose, not me!
During the election, by the way, I wasn't saying things like this. I was telling everybody to vote for Harris like a good little Democrat -- check my comment history if you don't believe me. But the election is over now. Now is the time for review and analysis of what went wrong and what needs to change. And yet you're still demanding fealty to "vote blue no matter who" and telling me that I'm still wrong to criticize? But if not now, when? Tell me that!
The Democrats need reform if there's any chance of fixing this catastrophe. Why do you want to prevent that from happening?
What needs to change is that people need to pull their heads out of their asses, instead of being self-absorbed pieces of shit who feel entitled to be neutral about fascism.
Those who thought that way learned by example.
Exactly!
That includes everyone who didn't vote for Harris and it includes the Democratic Party itself.
And -- let me be absolutely clear about this -- fuck everyone on here who keeps trying to pretend the two halves of that sentence are some kind of mutually exclusive thing!
