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 mean, as long as he doesn't openly support genocide or rape kids, he is better then the last two candidates. The purity test bar is pretty low imo, it's kind of really easy to pass (easier for one party though).
This kind of idiocy is why we have a literal genocide enabling rapist and (probable) pedophile in the whitehouse riding roughshod over the constitution while Congress and the Supreme Court packed full of his shitbird lackeys cheer him on from the sidelines.
"Is it the party that chose to run a platform on apathy and genocide that are to blame for losing the election? No, it is everyone else"
Sorry for expecting them to represent me and not a foreign state bro, lmao. We wouldn't have Trump if they at least pretended to care about us. They fucked us over for daddy Israel, I'm not going to shut up about it.
I voted for Kamala btw, I felt gross about it. I'm really hoping we can encourage them to give us candidates that dont say things that make me sick to my stomach. Instead we tell the dems they aren't to blame and it's the voters fault. What a joke, you are part of the problem if you actively defend them and their behavior last election.
Who would you have rather voted for?
I just want to remind everyone that Jill Stein was on the ballot. But that was the wrong “not trump”, “not genocide” person apparently.
