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!

MODERATORS
I decide how I will vote based on whether the candidate is close enough to me across all issues. I don't support genocide, but Harris hasn't advocated launching strikes against Israeli military bases. That's a minus. I support aggressively addressing climate change, Harris is not aggressive enough on the issue. Another minus. I believe the government should set prices of goods based on the needs of the populace. Harris wants to impact the prices of some goods, but she supports free market pricing for others. Minus again. I believe in the rights of the innocent in our judicial system. Harris is a former prosecutor.
Harris doesn't check enough boxes for me, so I'm doing what I did in 2020 again. I'm voting for the only person who truly aligns with my beliefs - myself. Please join me by writing each of yourselves in for President in 2024.
The worst part is you're not voting for yourself, you are allowing your vote to be transformed into a vote for trump, and it shouldn't be that way.

First past the post voting is the enemy here. Until we ditch it, it truly is a shitty, shitty two party system where not voting for harris is voting for trump. Normally only gangs and morons think "if you're not with me, you're against me"--first past the post creates a law of physics for voting that makes that dumbass way of thinking the law of the land. And "law" like thermodynamics, ie, not the kind you can flip off the cops and break.
We need to change the rules of the game to ones that don't suck so bad. That starts with fourth reich prevention, which under first past the post can only mean a vote for harris.
Yup. It's on the ballot for the first time here and I hope it passes!
I mean, crap, if ALASKA can do it...
Pointless Stupid Gesture 2024!
