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!

And more excuses to advocate for genocide. Even the Nazi's weren't this much in denial. A vote for Biden or Trump directly condones and support genocide. It is a direct action that shows that you voluntarily condone and support it. If you do not vote, or vote third party, you are not complicit in genocide. But if you vote for Biden or Trump then you do.
Says who? You may be able to put whatever you want on the ballot but you statistically have 2 options in a ftpt system. You can only influence the vote in one of two directions, that's it. I don't know why you won't recognize that fact. You're mathematically assisting the Republican party get elected (the far greater threat of genocide).
You're significantly more complicit for the damage the GOP does. Every extra bomb that trump drops on Gaza is on you. Direct or indirect action doesn't matter, what matters is the results.
If you can explain to me how voting third party prevents the GOP from gaining power OR how Donald Trump would be an improvement over Joe Biden I'm all ears, but besides that I think we're done here. I just hope others can understand how backwards this idea is.
only in an ethical system that says the ends justify the means. inconsequential ethics say that the ethics are in the action itself.
