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!

They did say it clearly. But let me see if I can't help.
You can have a slap in the face
Or a rusty shank to the neck
One or the other.
If you don't pick, one will be picked for you.
I get not wanting to vote for him. I do. But not all of us get that luxury.
I'm gay. Me and my boyfriend are talking about leaving the country. He's got one last semester of nursing school. Lots of places are desperate for nurses. We can probably get out. If we do, then I can say we get to move.
If the Republicans win, it won't just be get to, it will become need to as well. Any queer person who stays is taking a big risk. But not everyone will be able to leave.
Between the push for a fascist theocracy with Trump as the dictator as he uses phrases pulled from the Nazis and gives us their plans under Project 2025, I don't get the luxury of saying "Well, let's see if we can't come back from this." When we talk about being terrified of a Republican presidency, we are not exaggerating.
This isn't a light decision to make. I hate it. Even if the dems win, we might still leave. Project 2025 will just turn to Project 2029. Project 2033. Eventually they will win. But in the mean time I have to decide between voting for Joe who supports Isreal
Or risk Trump who supports Isreal, but also supports the same thing here
It's Biden or Trump
A slap in the face or a rusty shank to the neck
if the choice is leaving or voting for genocide, I'd pack my bags. I can't believe you're about to vote to send more money to Israel to kill Palestinians.
Thanks for proving you're not here for a real conversation. But yeah, if it's vote for genocide or genocide either way, feel free to leave. Guess I'll just go volunteer myself for the gas chamber.
>feel free to leave.
that's what I said
Yes it is.
If genocide isn't enough of a red line for liberals, they are the larger threat to society and worldwide safety.
Palestinians aren't getting slapped in the face. it's a fucking genocide
Thanks for proving my point even more. Feel free to argue the point or move on.
don't tell me what to do
telling you your analogy is insulting doesn't prove your point at all.
If the point went over your head and you can only focus on that and ignore the rest, than take a seat. Of course the "don't tell me what to do" comment makes me think you really might not be adult enough to have this conversation.
# take a seat
# you really might not be adult enough to have this conversation
So I was right about that. Thanks.
# Thanks for proving you’re not here for a real conversation
Thanks for proving my point.
do you need help finding the block button? it's control+w
# feel free to leave.
