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!

No, let's focus on the question, thanks. They want left-leaning people who are voting to do exactly what you plan to do. Does that mean you should rethink your positions? I mean, obviously not, you're a MAGA campaigner. But in the context of your cosplay?
Somehow MAGA is worse than even Dick Cheney at this point and you are choosing to align with MAGA against the Dems. Meanwhile red-faced and screeching that Harris is accepting support from a former VP who has sway with people who might actually vote.
Okay, so, Republicans don't just want people to vote third party. They're very openly anti-libertarian and are kicking them off ballots, for example.
Their primary goal is to stop people from voting entirely, which is why the bulk of their money and legislative effort have gone into into disenfranchisement. Anyone choosing to sit this election out is definitely helping Republicans. And I am voting.
As for third parties, they only and specifically promote the Greens. Why them? It's because Greens are an unserious protest vote and Republicans are fine with that.
That's not me agreeing with you. Greens specifically are unserious because they're just another liberal party, they have no revolutionary agenda or plan to build real political power. They're just activism for the sake of activism. They show up every couple years and disappear between elections. Pure virtue signaling.
I'm voting PSL. You won't see Republicans promoting them. Greens are harmless. Socialism scares them.
We need to build a workers' party to fight the bipartisan dictatorship of capital. Build the workers' party, build class consciousness, militarize the unions, agitate the masses, become ungovernable, arm the working class, movement building. That's how we beat fascism. You won't beat fascism by voting for fascist collaborators like Harris
Republicans are working hard at disenfranchisement, therefore throw our votes in the trash so they can have another four years appointing SCOTUS theocrats who enable much of it. Smart.
You won't beat fascism by allowing nakedly fascist "I will be a dictator" guys into office.
All votes outside of a small cluster of swing states are thrown in the trash. 🙄
Sure. And that's why you're on here trying to convince swing state voters to throw theirs away.
I'm only defending and explaining my own choices. I think we should build a workers' party, if you think you need to vote Democrat go ahead. We just disagree.
TIL telling Harris voters they support genocide or calling them goose steppers is in no way attempting to influence their actions.
Removed for misinformation. Harris and supporters DO NOT support genocide.
Actually you say it because you are a genocide lover who wants Donald in office to do as much genocide as possible. More in Ukraine. Pogroms in Ohio.
You are not responsible. You have survivor guilt.
Gaza is an ongoing atrocity. I do feel awful. Allowing Donald in there will not fix it.
I do not feel any guilt over voting for Harris because the alternative is certainly worse.
If the alternative would end that atrocity, not assist Russia in invading Ukraine, nor do Blood Libel racist bullshit about Haitian immigrants I absolutely would accept whatever personal hardship if it meant ending an ongoing atrocity.
Donald is a racist demagogue who has already done one insurrection, running on a platform of explicit bigotry. I sure as fuck hope we don't find out what Nazi-style industrial genocide looks like when techbros are running it.
Right, so you don't feel any guilt.
Sorry, I just disagree. I think we are culpable.
