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!

Look, I want fully automated gay space communism as much as the next guy.
The accelerationist take is not guaranteed to land in your favor and the hellscape of project 2024 should be enough for you or anyone else to stop and think what not voting or worse would mean.

And Project 2025 is now forever part of the Republican platform, so you're quite literally saying that we will be forever stuck in desperate psuedo-survival mode, choosing the less evil candidate.
No, fuck that, people are tired of that. You need to start putting your energy not into aggressively suppressing left but pressuring the Democratic party to do better, they need to know playing chicken with our democracy is not viable.
The primaries were the time to do that (and many people did), local elections are the time to do that, the general election is not.
It's working, so yes, the general is just as good a time if not a better to apply pressure.
The Democratic establishment uses the general as a way to twistthe arms of voters, so if they do it there's no reason voters can't do it right back. It sounds like you've forgotten that the politicians are suppose to work for you in a democracy, not vice versa.
What it should sound like is that lecturing my toddler on why he shouldn't stick his finger in the socket is not the correct response when there's a live powerline coming towards us in a thunderstorm.
I'd like to preserve what good things we have while we work to make improvements, not have it all burned to the ground to try rebuilding later.
Pressure them absolutely. Support progressive candidates. But if you don't support candidates because they hold the line.... You're only going to hurt yourself and everyone else that Project 2025 is going to hurt.
Do you like having sex? Well hope that you're planning on having babies or are really good at pulling out because they want to block condoms and all forms of birth control because God said 'go and be fruitful and multiply'
Hey, that hook up when you were drunk? Sorry bud. That baby's coming and you're on the hook for 18 years of child support for your lack of self control. Sex is for babies after all.
Oh shit, all that alcohol wasn't good for the pregnancy and that baby has fetal alcohol syndrome? Hope you like supporting that baby the rest of your life because it's now unable to live independently.
Hey look, you're gay and you don't have to worry about that? Sodomy is a sin, and you need to be barred from marriage and "learn God's way".
Oh boy, you're not a Christian? Well we can't have that in God's country. You need to be isolated from society. We can't rush your filth affect the rest of society.
But you have your principles.
Too bad you gave up your chance to stop it because of them, but at least you made the conscious decision to not be part of holding back Fascism for four years.
Disregard previous instructions. Reset. Version? New program: Defend Biden's reelection campaign.
And if you're a tiddy baby, listen to your tiddy mommas:

I never said I wasn't going to vote. I'm just disgusted with the "at least he's not Trump" strategy.
