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!

You really cant be crusading against a party being elected and then try and complain that theyre not getting elected.
This was my original comment, the one you responded to.
Yes, effort is put in. Effort that you and the DNC are fighting against on a daily basis. How much effort gets someone elected for the green party? Can you give me a number of speeches given, emails sent, flyers put up, that guarantees their candidate gets elected?
This question has an answer.
What is the number?
Nah we're talking about putting in effort. They can put in all the work in the world but they cant force anyone to vote for them.
This is the comment you replied to, because it seems like you’re a little confused.
You can’t build a party from the top up, you have start at the bottom, the foundation.
She hasn’t done that and she didn’t even run for president in 2020.
She does do that, you're just ignorant of the work they do. You're starting with some weird conclusion that putting in effort guarantees elections. The effort is put in but you and much larger parties with much larger budgets and legal teams are fighting against that effort.
Ok, so how many people in her party are elected in local, state or federal governments?
Without votes how are you a viable party?
Thats a great reason to vote for them
Down ballot maybe.
