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!

fucking gross.
It's your goddamn duty as a citizen, it's not going to see your favorite show. If you have to 'get up the enthusiam' to simply FUCKING VOTE..... then you really must not care about the path this country takes. If you did, you would vote every time with fervor knowing you are helping to safeguard the country/state/city and its associated future.
with that said, I'm glad you say you will absolutely be voting, so props. I just think it is disturbing how many think about voting the way you do and more disturbing is that even more don't and don't vote at all
I vote for the other stuff; this post and the thread to which I replied is talking about the two options we have for president.
I'd be more enthusiastic about voting in the presidential election if it made a difference. I don't live in a swing state; my state is all but guaranteed to go to Biden in November. My vote counts for a fraction of someone in a different state, which just furthers the notion that it's a pointless gesture.
But do be disturbed. It should be disturbing that a growing number of people feel the way I do. That isn't just reflective of us; it's reflective of the broken system. Maybe try directing some of your disgust in that direction instead of just patronizing someone on the internet.
