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!

"This is truly a historic ticket bringing together a Jewish woman and Black Muslim man against genocide, endless war, climate collapse, and rampant injustice, and for an economy that works for working people, a livable future for our children, and an America and a world that works for all of us.”
She forgot to mention how it was all brought together in the first place by a white male dictator in Russia.
No russians made Jill Stein run for president. lmao
In regular times, maybe. The DNC abandoned the idea of incorporating third party policies ages ago.
I wish voting for this ticket could keep my conscious clean but that's just not how reality works.
I support and totally respect your opinion on that.
But for me, variations of people/parties saying, "Oh, we need change, but not THIS election" or "NOW isn't the time, it's too important to try now..." etc, has been said for the last 50 years.
50 years!
So no, I'm done with the whole, "Not this time, next time tho!" line of thinking. I'm voting for who I want to vote for. Right now. And it feels awesome.
I’m with you but this late into the cycle for a general election really isn’t the time for it. The real work starts local then pushes up. Getting a mayor, state reps, etc paves the way for more desirable senators and eventually, a president.
I stopped voting third party for big ticket elections in 2016. My state has had margins within 10k and we've ended up with my worst nightmares as reps.
Thanks. But I'm still voting for her. And I am especially happy with her VP pick.
But yeah, if you feel like you can't vote for her in good conscience, then for sure vote for who works best for you. I totally support and respect that decision.
