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!

Man, tagging users can be useful... Did you vote in 2024?
Nope!
So which of those two previously mentioned categories do you fall into?
I haven't voted since 2006 and it feels great 🤷🏻♀️
"I haven't voted since 2006 so my opinion on politics is null and void."
OK next time I'll vote third party so that my opinion is valid to you
Yes, you have. You've given support to the worst of two evils in EVERY election. People like you are the reason that monsters like Bush and HitlerPig were elected.
Well no, you see, because I didn't cast a vote. Neither party sought my vote 🤷🏻♀️
Not voting is still casting a vote, it doesn't absolve you from responsibility.
OK so who should I have voted for? How do you know that I would vote for the person you demand?
Why should I give my vote to a party that doesn't seek it?
I'm not suggesting you vote either way, just that its really lame to feel superior for not participating in the process.
I've been voting since 1977, and I've NEVER voted for a presidential candidate I've actually liked. It's ALWAYS the lesser of two evils. Thats just the way it is, so grow up and accept it.
When did I ever say I was superior to anybody? I simply said that I refuse to cast a vote for either of these two criminal parties. In my lifetime they haven't accomplished anything for the public good and have stopped even pretending that they will.
The only peaceful way to change these parties is for a majority of people to stop voting. We're getting closer!
Yeah, the Ostrich Strategy. Everybody should just check out, bury their heads in the sand, and let the criminals have their way. That'll show'em. Can't see anything going wrong with that strategy.
And superior acting people never think they're acting superior, they just think they ARE superior.
Who should I have voted for? The fascist genocide enablers or the fascist genocide enablers?
I mean, you're entering deep into the FO phase ot FAFO, so go fuck yourself for helping bring the rest of us with you.
🤷🏻♀️
I don't like this administration but it's not like the previous ones were likable either. Neither candidate was going to stop helping create dead children in Gaza
So you voted for the side that would also kill thousands/millions of American children?
Do you think Democrats care about children?
Well then, you're an absolute fucking moron, and you're likely going to get what's coming to you. I dunno what else to say at this point.
Do you think the Democrats are against any of what Trump's doing???
Of course they are against what HitlerPig is doing. Just because they a weak, spineless cowardly weenies, and are afraid to stand up to him, doesn't mean they support him.
I think the DNC is fine with it
A) yes
B) they wouldn't be actively dismantling democracy and starting their own concentration camps if they'd been elected.
Well buddy, I hope that though is comforting to you when we're both get chopped to pieces in a Salvadorian death camp.
Democrats will sit idly by and let it happen 🤷🏻♀️ they are perfectly fine with all of it
Well I’m glad you found a way to blame the party controlling 0% of the branches of government, instead of the part controlling 100% of the branches of government, you know, the actual people doing the things.
You just don’t know anything. I’m glad you don’t vote, holy shit.
They are the party who spent a billion dollars campaigning but didn't know how to reach people like me. Instead they chose to show how Republican they are. "Look! Dick Cheney likes us!"
Who's at fault here???
They aren't "perfectly fine with it," they're just cowardly and lazy. But they aren't complicit.
"cowardly and lazy" lets them off the hook for decades of visionless policy and failed promises
