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!

Yeah, Dems are going to fight against spoilers propped up by the GOP.
You're an idiot to think they were anything aside from that.
As for Cornell West, https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/cornel-west-donation-harlan-crow-1234857237/
Fuck do you mean spoilers, they are running for election, democrats are spoilers for them.
Oh, my sweet summer child.
Read a book.
Read my links.
Democrats fought hard to ban candidates from participating in this election.
Your links are trash, and I've already dealt with them.
Am I supposed to be sad that the Dems fought to keep RFK Jr from being a useful idiot for the GOP, and tried to stop him from siphoning votes? You know, the guy who is now going to run amok in the Trump administration with his deranged ideas about healthcare, as a thanks for his efforts?
Am I supposed to be sad that the Dems fought against Jill Stein, a widely-known Putin-funded tool for years and years?
Fuck no. It isn't a betrayal of the ideals of freedom, representation, and democracy to fight against obvious sabotage of the system. There are always fools like you who will do the GOP's work, and try to stop the Democrats from fighting them from perverting the system. You're a tool of your enemy and too dumb to know it.
You aint dealt with shit, you came in here saying it was made up at the start. Now youre scrambling to justify this thing you didnt even believe was true before. Youre talking about siphoning votes, you are talking about an election, about democracy. Where you as a citizen get to have your voice heard and vote for who you want to vote for. RFK, Jill Stein, Cornell West, not a one of them has any ability or authority to take votes. Every vote cast for them is freely given by the only person that should have any say in who their vote goes to. That is how democracy works, and it is the definition of fascism to try and stop that. The only democratic option a candidate has in trying to keep voters from voting for someone else, is to be a better candidate.
I cannot argue with someone so proud of their stupidity. Go for yourself.
One have to wonder why every discussion with a liberal end up with him ragequitting throwing a last behind-the-shoulder insult. It's like these people have zero arguments lmao. Loser.
I aint putting up with fascists assaulting democracy anymore. Let people vote, let people run for election, I dont give a shit what you think about them.
