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.

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!

I wanted them to speak up and keep Trump out to keep this from happening.
Besides that whatever you think you know about me I’m afraid you don’t.
Uh huh. What did you say to people that wanted Biden to stop supporting genocide?
Biden ran in 2020 but he didn’t in 2024.
2024 was Harris vs Trump.
As of the final few months of the campaign, and Harris made it clear that she wasn't going to differ from Biden on the issue.
What did you say to people that wanted Biden/Harris to stop supporting genocide?
Dodge the question harder.
That Trump would be much worse.
Why are the genocides stopped now?
Fuck you, if all you have to offer is "I wont genocide as hard as the other guys, but I also won't try to stop them and also I have never said or done a single thing to actually slow the genocide, but 45 WORSE!!!" then you deserve to lose. Just because they only give us two choices doesn't mean that actually reflects the reality or nuance of the situation. Don't act like you give a shit about genocide.
I can’t stand single issue voters.
The world has much more nuances than that.
No shit, some of that nuance would be nice to have in the political system but all we have is mostly old white party 1 & 2 and they're both right wing? Fuck that
Btw if you think that's the only issue with the Democratic platform and their presidential offering(s) this time, you are not paying enough attention, or you're being misled.
The parties are very different.
Even a blind man could tell that.
How is that at all related to what I just said? No shit. We were just talking about nuance lol where did that go? Fuck off troll
Maybe I misinterpreted you here.
