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!

MODERATORS
I hope you will take a bit of time to really think through this part of your comment. If you truly think this, then I have nothing more to discuss with you. This is part of the larger problem.
We're forced due to our shitty first-past-the-post voting system to vote one of two ways, vote against the worst guy in your opinion, or abstain from voting and not contribute at all.
We're voting between
an extremely old guy who hasn't been everyone's favorite in many areas, but arguably has done a LOT of good things in his time as President - and
an extremely old guy who is a rapist, racketeering liar and a con man who only cares about self preservation, and fleecing you for every buck you're worth to bankroll his court costs for running up (so far) nearly 100 state and federal felonies. He also is fiercely delaying his trials so he can corruptly make it go away so that Justice isn't carried out, because he should be King and completely above the law. Not to mention his party ACTUALLY cheats at election through intimidation, voter suppression, gerrymandering, and misinformation campaigns.
How could someone even think that's not a no-brainer decision? I'm not forcing anyone to do anything, what I'm saying is that I believe people that aren't making the obvious right choice here are part of the problem. Bad guys standing next to bad guys, ignorant/brainless/brainwashed Republicans and abstinent voters. Might as well be the same person if you're not helping to remedy this clear issue with your vote.
Just my opinion, but I know it's shared with many that clearly align with doing the right thing this November.
I'm challenging the collective "you" to do the right thing, regardless of your political affiliation. The game has two participants and only one can be the winner. Don't inject extra complexity here. Do the right thing. That's it. Should be a super easy choice.
