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!

His pro-genocide cult is fond of saying that there are only two choices when they're browbeating anyone who is upset with him for any reason.
But no. He's still second worst. And his recent adoption of Trump's immigration policies has narrowed the gap.
You support a regressive Libertarian candidate over the most progressive candidate since FDR. And a Kremlin stooge. And a nutbag billionaire. Got it.
by what standard?!
dude literally voted against gay marriage; gays in the military; permanent student loans; advocated against gays in federal service; racial integration; sexual harassment claims; blocked access to non-american social media platform; and blocked americans from affordable electric vehicles.
was it the one law that passed decades after it was no longer an issue and, not only did nothing, but gave bigots legal protection for their bigotry?
Presidents do not vote on anything. I said he was the most progressive PRESIDENT since LBJ/FDR.
Raising taxes on corporations. Wealth inequality is the number 1 problem in the country. Reducing wealth inequality is the biggest thing FDR did. But also: Reducing costs of ACA and Medicare. Increasing access to health care. Lowering prices on drugs thru direct government regulation. Reducing student loans. Action on climate change. Reducing taxes on lower/middle class. That is just some of the obvious stuff.
I do not. I'm voting for Biden. But as Biden's pro-genocide cult is so delighted to gloat, a vote for any other option is a vote for Trump. Since all other candidates are functionally Trump, Biden is second worst. And he's moving to the right on immigration to be more like Trump.
But hey, go ahead and make assumptions based on things you prefer to think instead of what I've actually written.
This is horseshit. No one buys it.
