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

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've always said a third party vote is a waste.
But the vast majority of my presidential votes has been for candidates I think will be bad presidents, just a Republican would be worse.
If Tay Tay ran a third party campaign...
I'd vote for her in a heartbeat, literally every reason that's making me vote Biden is true for her as well. She has the support to pull it off, enough that if she ran, voting for Biden would be the "throwing your vote away" choice.
Even if she literally did nothing as president, that's better than Biden only doing some of the awful shit trump would do.
You son of a bitch, I’m in!
We have elected a movie star and a reality tv show figurehead, why not t-swift?
It's not even much of a joke.
Like, we have to put up with Dems favoring corporations and all types of shit because "that's what it takes to get elected".
But Taylor doesn't need to do that to get elected.
Her campaign could literally consist of a tweet saying:
And her fans would take it from there.
The Democratic party just insists on running geriatrics that over 50% of the country hate. It's a terrible strategy, but that's what happens when the people coming up with the strategy are geriatrics over 50% of the country hates...
They're just going to keep saying they're the ones who should be in power, and since they're a private organization we have no other choices...
A billionaire celebrity is literally the only one who can win from outside the system and has a chance to fix it.
Reason 2,763 why America's political system is so fucked, only Tay Tay can save us
That would be an interesting constitutional test too: she's not currently eligible to be President (but by swearing-in time she will be)
Pretty sure that's established...
You need to be 35 to swear in, not run for the office.
I wasn't sure.
In that case, Tay Tay for pres!
Gotta love the fame worshipping going on in this entire thread. People are fawning over one billionaire versus another.
If you're only comparing someone to trump or Biden, most people are going to seem like the "no brainer" pick for president.
It's what happens when Dems aim for just slightly better than Republicans' consistent "worst candidate of all time".
