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!

Calling people emotional little bitches while making a shitstorm of a whine....
I mean, yeah. I would vote democrat if the other option is republican. Because things like abortion rights, the constant voter suppression attempts, and supreme court (people who were chosen by republican representatives and proceeded to lie to the country) Would kindof be where I would draw the line.
Yeah, if that's not where you draw the line, then we don't really have something compromisable. Because a significant portion of that is violated human rights, and the other parts would make it harder to actually fix those issues in the long-term.
Sure, there doesn't have to be a good and evil. The party is currently doing evil things, and if you are sticking to your guns with that party, then what exactly are we supposed to say? I wouldn't even say Democrat is being a good party, it's just not doing things I would consider reprehensible.
And that's purely going off the domestic policy. Not even going off the fact that there's some very clear proof that the republican party has Russian government infestation corrupting it.
If you don't think nows the time to make a clear sign the party needs to reform, then I think there's a problem there.
TL;DR: We draw our lines, and unfortunately the line to draw for the republican party has crossed some pretty problematic points over the past 10 years.
Yes, it's time to tell Nazis enough is enough and their shit is over. Yes, it's time to fight back, harder than most liberals are prepared for. But when a person like OP makes a simple statement that they're Republican, and yet OP disagrees with them, out come the pitchforks?
You were not listening. Talk about preaching to the choir, I could have written your post myself, and I have, many, many times. Think you're telling me something I don't know? Something I haven't seen or considered?
But voting straight D isn't fucking good enough, is it? Assholes downvote every voice that doesn't toe the party line. Comrade. (That's an insult from the 80s. It means one that falls in lockstep with what they're told, no thought required or permitted.)
Keep pushing down every "unliked" opinion. See what that's bought so far? Toxic populism, fascism, powering the disaffected and powerless, who only wish to have a say, even if they're wrong or confused. Was it worth the price to stomp their voice out and not engage in good faith? And even if they don't listen, wasn't it worth the effort to try reaching them?
FFS, even the most sane, moderate voices get no play. Bought and paid for, lay in the made bed, pushing allies away with hate. Always worked in the past!
Don't come crying to me when defenseless against the Christo-fascists you've enabled by stomping out discourse. "How could this have happened?"
(Still waiting for the lecture on the "paradox of intolerance". It's a real thing and worthy of discussion.)
You might have a point in here, but you’re bombastic tirade approach makes you look unhinged and people won’t parse it to find the truth beneath.
