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!

Well, that’s it, i guess i should vote for the asscunt who wants to end American democracy. Thanks, OP, for opening my eyes to this.
Yeah it’d be crazy if peaceful protests were violently attacked by right wing terrorists and the cops just joined in on the beatings
If the Supreme Court started ignoring precedent, which they stated under oath they would not do, and started saying cases have standing even if the damaged entity literally is a hypothetical that has never happened
If the largest union action in this generation was stomped down and made to heel
If a violent mob literally stormed the capital while Congress was in session certifying an election and were not all prosecuted as domestic terrorists and hanged, under the most advanced security state in the world that knows exactly who was there using cellular pings
Let me guess, you’re going to say the same thing in 2028 except all these things will have gotten worse and if we just hold our noses and tolerate it one more time the Blues will fix it all, just like they did in 2020 and 2012 and 2008 and 1992 and……….
article is clearly saying neither of the candidates should have been on the ballot
And yet, here we are. Choose wisely, or live the consequences.
false equivalence
Never said that. Just pointing out our choices are both deteriorating.

So you're voting for Biden?
I don't vote for genociders. I morally can't vote for Biden for his other failures also. I'm voting third party.
yawn same screamers every election. It's up to the party to put up somebody that can fight and win. Biden ain't it for me. That's democracy. I can vote for whoever I want or not vote.
Blaming the voters and not the candidate that's supposed to earn the votes.
Oh no... not the fake Internet points.
Says the one voting for fake candidates.
You're a genocide enabler
ad hominem
Meh. I've stated on here many times...
You want to shoot yourself in the dick, that’s cool, IDGAF. You expect people to care about an inconsequential error made in speaking, as if we’re all light thinkers, and join you in dick-shooting? Nah, feck off.
Just documenting the election cycle by posting political articles in the political sub. You don't have to read it if it upsets you.
Glad you find it entertaining. I'll continue then.
Voting 3rd party throws away your vote. Every state is going to either Biden or Trump. Period. There is no viable 3rd party.
So you can put your vote to Biden, or you can help out the guy facing 88 felony charges, wants a war with Mexico, and through Project 2025 would establish an authoritarian state unheard of in American history.
That's what I've been trying to explain to people from the start... Biden needs Jewish support. If he comes out against Israel, he loses that, and the kids supporting Palestine will go "Yeah, but you didn't do it soon enough." Lose/Lose.
The sad fact of the matter is the Israel lobby is where the money is which is why Biden has stuck with them as long as he has.
If the Palestinian movement and the college kid movement had the money to donate, it wouldn't be an issue.
AIPAC knows they don't so you get things like:

You must be new here.
I'm not a teen. I'm gay, live in the Los Angeles area, and I'm far left.
Enough is enough with this system. F Trump and F Biden.
