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!

I'd never vote for Trump, but i'm not really thrilled to vote for Biden either. I think both options suck.
Since there is no other option we'll end up with Biden again probably, just depends how much power hate and fear has nowadays.
I'm in Massachusetts so voting blue doesn't mean anything in the presidential race. With the divide between conservative and liberal getting worse and worse I wonder how the battleground states will swing this time around.
Please tell me you're gonna vote anyways
You don't just vote for a president. It's not presidential election day, it's voting day. The presidential vote is worthless but the rest isn't.
The primaries are where most of the magic happens too.
Most people ignore state and local positions but those greatly influence real world consequences. Federal law changes at a glacial pace due to all the bullshit. State stuff happens and takes effect usually within a couple of years here without a flip flop every 8 years. So yes, i'll be voting.
Vote Democrat straight ticket, voting blue means everything, every where, every single fucking time. It's incredible people still don't appreciate this after points to literally everything
I've voted straight Democrat for 10 years and I hate it. I don't believe the US is as polarized as its portrayed. But our options are either "Fascist" or "At least we're not those guys". I HOPE ranked choice voting becomes a thing in our lifetime.
I appreciate that you hate it, as much as I appreciate the fact you keep doing it, for all of us. Truly. Here's to a better tomorrow.
If you're in a solid blue state maybe think about joining us in a purple or red state and fight the good fight here. Tons of states are won by the slimmest of margins, and even the reddest states are like 20-30% blue. I'm not ready to give up on them yet.
I assume the guy was referring to the electoral college. Massachusetts votes overwhelmingly blue, so after we collect all the electoral votes, the rest of us are just icing on that cake
I’ve been voting blue for over twenty years and gestures to everything. Maybe voting isn’t enough.
This 3 foot pile of dog shit in my living room is really disgusting and I don't like it one bit. On the other hand it was kinda disorganized in here before the dog shit and that was kinda sucky too.
