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!

Yup.
And it’s a choice they want democrats to take!
Ask yourself why.
They said why. You quoted it.
Pretty stupid reason to drop Harris when the other team would be far worse on that one issue.
Unless, of course, the real motivation is as a spoiler candidate.
So is there an “Abandon Trump” campaign? Because trump is universally worse on Gaza.
You're honestly just driving me away from Harris.
Hey man, vote how you want.
We both know that the election is between Harris and Trump, at least baring some unforeseeable thing happening like trump dying from choking down a hamburger.
We also know that Stein has had dinner with Putin, and wants to pull the US out of nato, and in none of the pro-stein/Green Party stuff here, has there been any criticism of trump.
I would love it if the US didn’t have a de facto 2 party system, but we do. That’s how it is. Not voting for Harris isn’t a vote for trump, but then, you should ask yourself which of the two candidates of the 2 parties that actually have a chance, is the one who best represents you.
Because if you care about Gaza and what Israel is doing, that’s not trump.
Oh no! I better stop saying how I see things, if you’re being driven away from Harris. My sincerest apologies.
Well to be fair, I said how I see things and it inspired people to actually follow me around Lemmy and vote down every single article I post, regardless of content. So...
I feel same way. This crowd and their bullying attitude has definitely reinforced my choice to vote third party. I'm more proud of it every day that I read replies here.
