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!

Gotcha. So voting in support of a little bit of genocide is okay.
So you have no domestic policies you care about? Like being able to vote against genocide in the future? Cause Trump has a lot of policies in mind that would seem to prevent doing anything about that later down the line.
I can't even call it shortsighted because it's not like the other option is even going to help things short term. If anything the other option is just going to be even worse. So I don't really get the stance other than a nihilistic "let everything burn" response.
Forget about the Nazi genocide, think about your student loans!
It's like watching poor billionaires not giving a shit about anyone but themselves.
Voting to support a little genocide, vs not voting and allowing a big genocide... Now where have I seen a philosophical problem like that before...
Better than not voting and ending up with a lot of genocide... Or maybe you want to go tell the people of Gaza that you're an accelerationist and just had to let things become worse in order for them to potentially get better?
I see... Voting in support of the current genocide is an act of compassion. Right.
As if voting blue, red, or not at all are the only options. I'm voting for the person who I decide deserves my vote. Not in support of the status quo.
I assume you've put forth a lot of grassroot efforts in the many years in advance to give your group relevance right? You wouldn't just make a meaningless vote to someone with no realistic chance in order to posture right?
And thanks to people like you, the group that holds itself together the most (the right) has more chances to win.
You hate the current system? That's perfectly fine! It's still the system by which rules you need to play may you like it or not!
I'm leaning towards Cornel West but Jill Stein can still win me back. do you have a preference there?
Vermin Supreme.
i think he says that he just wants power and will say anything it takes to get it. so i can't in good conscience vote for him.
