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!

Do you prefer Trump?
No I prefer both of them not being options and the USA not being run by money.
Hey, me too! But doing nothing gets you Trump, so.
Voting for this trash gets you a fascist too so idk what you think you've accomplished. And Democrats will have support of a genocide on their records as well. Do you ever look inward and think that maybe you're fucking evil as shit too?
lol, go touch grass.
Russian propaganda has rotted your brain.
Removed, civility.
So you'll be removing all the comments calling me stupid or a Russian, correct? Since those are meant to be derogatory. Probably not 😬
If they get reported, absolutely. I don't have time to personally read every time you get called stupid or Russian. :)
How's the weather in Russia lately anyway?
Yes, the house is dirty so let's set fire to it. Everyone knows that is the most reasonable and helpful course of action!
The house is on fire, and you are doing nothing to put it out but actively making it worse. That's actually what is happening. Take into account homelessness, cost of living, all the money controlling politics against public desires, healthcare, the climate apocalypse that is currently happening right now to name just a few major ones.
Voting against the primary terrible policy offenders is doing something. Kind of like how encouraging third party votes or not voting is doing the opposite of that thing.
The house is on fire and you're handing out Molotov cocktails and lighters.
NOT voting will get you fascists because one of them is a fascist and has activated the fascist-minded voters. The other may not be the best, but it's way better than blatant fascism.
