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
Then maybe they should start. I have to do a lot of qualification to justify voting Democrat. If I'm going to vote Green, I expect to be doing a lot less qualification than with Democrats. The only reason I would is because nobody holds Greens to account on what their actual policies are. Which only helps the Greens, because they're fucking loons.
You have to care about all the dem policies because they stand a chance of winning and enacting (or not!) them. For (many?) potential green voters it may only matter that they are right about one or two acute critical issues. To be blunt: the dems don't care about stopping the genocide of Palestinians. That issue is critical enough and acute enough that many people will simply never vote for anyone on the wrong side of it, but they still want to vote. In which case either the dems come around to the moral policy or those voters choose someone else. Like it or don't like it, I'm just explaining how I see it.
Blaming the dems for not stopping a genocide? That's rich, the world is letting Israel commit genocide after they were attacked. Why isn't Russia doing anything to stop the genocide? Why are we all ignoring the genocide that China is doing? There isn't some kind of narrative you're trying to get to is there?
Holy fuck. The US, currently led by the dems, is giving billions in material, lethal aid to the Israelis, while also providing political cover for them to continue their genocide, both in their domestic statements, as well as at the UN. I don't vote in Russia, I don't vote in China. I vote and pay taxes in the US.
Come on man you don't pay taxes or vote in America. Look at your post history my dude, it's clear you don't live here.
I don't know how you can come to such a conclusion from my post history. I'm sure i would get a good laugh out of whatever example you "found". I don't hide the area I live in (Humboldt county, California). I was born and raised on the east coast. I'm not going to get much more detailed than that, but you probably wouldn't believe it anyway.
