Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

ROFL! Dude. What I do and how much of it for how long- isn’t what this is about. And I’m fully aware of this tactic you’re using to turn the discussion around to put me on the defensive.

I’m not new to this.

News flash:

Not voting doesn’t cancel an election. Someone is still getting elected. And suggesting people not vote against Trump, is support for Trump. This is not up for debate. This is reality. With us or against us is a very real thing.

And the fact that most of the clowns that are not voting know damn well that things will be as bad is not FAR worse for Palestine if Trump is elected- and don’t care…. Says EVERYTHING we need to know about your agenda.

It’s been argued time-and-again how you people can’t offer a better candidate to win in November- but still fold your arms know how badly we will ALL be fucked if Trump gets the White House.

Even people for other countries have been pleading with you to do the right thing.

How fucking stupid can things get?

Again you are attacking people proclaiming they would be doing nothing, when you know absolutely nothing about them, simply because they voice a different opinion to yours. But given how you avoided the question you create the impression that you in fact are doing nothing except from insulting people online.

Also your blissfull ignorance to the racial component of your allegations make me believe that you are a white upper class american who wants minorities to play by your ball as a Trump win would mildly inconvenience you. Meanwhile people who actually face threats from a Trump presidency also speak out against Biden because they understand that the US political system is there to genocide all non white people.

But the white liberal being a racist in disguise is something we now since the civil right movements.

ROFL! Playing the racial card? Really? I might’ve entertained your shit take on this but trying to make me out to be a racist?

That’s fucking pathetic.
