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!

Who are you voting for?
Cornel West
Why?
He most closely aligns with my interests and values. I believe he would probably not pour 37 billion dollars into 100,000 more cops and developing the police state if he was President as Biden did.
Single policy voter? Might as well admit you were an embarrassed Republican to begin with.
Do you cry this much in real life? I’m talking to you like an adult and all you can do is throw a tantrum.
I’m a card carrying DSA member. I’m not sure how being left of Biden makes me a Republican, but whatever you have to tell yourself.
Lmao, the projection. How can ypu see to type through those tears?
… I don’t think you know any of the words you’re saying, lol.
Says the embarrassed Republican lmao.
I’m a Republican because I’m… voting for the most leftist candidate possible….
Not what was said. Sorry you're struggling to read.
Okay. Enlighten me then, why am I a Republican?
Because you are a single issue voter with an excuse why fighting fascism isn't a responsibility of yours.
The status quo serves you fine and you don't care about the suffering enacted on others. The BS candidate you are endorsing has 0 experience in government and is starting at the presidency? Yup.
The hallmarks of an embarrassed Republican.
Oh, so not actually a Republican - but another thing that you just don’t have a pithy singular word for
You are functionally the same. If it quacks like a duck and shits all over the place like a duck...
Yall even count as good as each other. "Embarrassed Republican" is 2 words.
lol. I remember being 19. You’ll grow out of it
He said to cope with facts he had no retorts for.
The fact that I’m a far left Republican, that is
Lmao, sure. So far left you want Trump elected.
I’d prefer if he didn’t, but ultimately my belief in democracy and leftist policies outweighs my drive to side with a minor fascist over a major fascist.
You vote for your conscience buddy. You can be a far right Democrat, I’ll be a far left Republican. It’s cute.
You mean you want Trump to win but are embarrassed to admit it.
Not really. He probably will thanks to individuals such as yourself. But to each their own.
Really, I’m not sure what you’re so mad about. Is this your first election or something?
Cope
This is just embarrassing for both of you lol
And you thought "hey I should roll in that mud with those pigs".
Brilliant.
yikes
👏
So, yes.
Yes, you are coping. That's why I said it. Glad you recognize it as true.
You are going to a 2 party election and not participating, which means you have a tacit agreement with the status quo.
If you had a legitimate candidate, they would have primaried for one of the 2 parties that will actually matter in the election. If they can't win a primary against the major candidates, guess what sherlock, they ain't winning the election.
If you aren't aware of the 2 party system in the United States, then I agree it is probably your first election.
Actually I’m just going to a presidential election and then participating. I’m not going to win, but that’s not my fault.
I get it, it’s your first election, it’s very special and important to you that everyone votes exactly like you do. And I get it, because the Democratic Party is investing a lot of money into messaging campaigns right now to “spread the word” about how it’s “just a binary election”. That’s alright.
I live in a swing state. I’ve voted democrat in the elections every year since I could vote. I’m not going to this year. I guess they should have done better. 🤷♂️
Lmao, you couldn't address what was said.
Embarrassed Republican through and through.
Do you want to clarify that. I feel like I responded to you
