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!

I have never wanted a month to go by as much as I do right now
Americans are really starting to annoy me at this point
We are slowly destroying ourselves with global warming but all we're centring our attention on is on how 400 million people can't decide between a sane young politician or an elderly sociopath with fascist leanings to lead their country.
We're screwed as a species
Like it or not, the US presidential election has potentially dire worldwide consequences for global warming. If you think our attention is best spent on global warming -- and I would agree -- then paying attention to the election is that.
Yeah don't blame this shit on all of us, it's like 1/3rd of the population being morons.
I get that ... but that third is a pretty loud obnoxious bunch and the other 2/3rds are either too quiet, don't speak up, don't vote or are just completely apathetic to everything happening around them.
The problem is not the remaining 2/3rds saying or supporting one thing or another
The problem is the 2/3rds just not participating and instead just stand around and watch the world burn.
Your numbers indicate 0 Americans standing up to this bullshit, which is just false. I get you're frustrated. So are we.
What exactly are we supposed to do except vote? Yell at them more? Look everywhere, we're doing it
Happening all over the planet, unfortunately.
