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!

It means that just like last time there were five presidential candidates on my ballot and I will choose the one that best reflects my philosophies.
So, helping Donald Trump it is then.
Edit: Not trying to be an ass, but that's just the reality of the winner-take-all system in the US.
Not trying to be an ass either, but the one time I voted for the two majors my guy won and he governed exactly like the guy I voted against.
If trymp is elected, that's not on me; that's on the fucking Dems who refused to codify Roe, elevated him in 2016, and refuse to arrest him for the obvious traitor and criminal he is. Also, for letting MxConnell block SCOTUS nominations and derail an impeachent trial.
Nothing is on me. No blood on my hands. We have trump because Dems wanted him
Nah, I'm sorry, but that's just not how it works. Dems needed 60 votes in the Senate to avoid the filibuster. Sinema and Manchin wanted to keep the filibuster. So it stayed and Roe is gone because of the SCOTUS Trump installed.
Having Biden in office has made an enormous difference over having Trump. Just saying.
Manchin and Sinema are the argument against BNMW
