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!

Voters can vote for Biden and maintain the stagnant and declining United States. Which will prolong our declining living standards and eroding global power
Or they can vote for Trump, who will destroy the United States, and the West along with it.
Neither is an option that will improve conditions for normal Americans. They can experience obliteration over 30 years, or experience it all at once. Either way, their living standards will continue to decline, as they have for the past 30 years. No option will ever be presented in the voting booth that will reverse our national decline.
Given that, what is to be done?
Every second you buy that avoids violent revolution and authoritian rule is worth it in the blood not shed.
How was the United States created?
The ballot or the bullet. You act like America winning the revolution was the end of our trouble. The revolution did not end slavery. The revolution did not create equality. It secured the colonies for a new imperialistic super power.
Yes, if there is no ballot, then it is the bullet.
I'm saying the opposite. We are a country born of violent revolution that was built on slavery, genocide, and imperialism
Currently, we are owned by oligarchs. They will not permit us to use elections to save the working class. Which is why we can prolong our demise with Biden, or experience our obliteration immediately with Trump. There is no better option and there never will be.
Given that, what should the working class do?
I've told you, are you dense?
No you haven't.
Voting for Biden will not improve conditions for the working class. Voting for Trump will destroy the country
So what is to be done?
