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!

If "Everyone gets boiled alive" was on the ballot and had the tiniest chance of passing, you would be an idiot to not vote.
In my state, if being boiled alive was up against Biden, I can vote for a third option, or not at all, and Biden will still will. So, it really depends on the state you're in. Furthermore, telling other people how they should cast their vote and trying to guilt them into voting one person over the other is not only pathetic, but also very un-American. If you're in a swing state, vote for who you want and ignore the keyboard warriors who are going to do nothing about it anyways.
Ah yes, because comments like
Isn't trying to convince people how to vote. Nor are comments like:
Are you new to American Elections? The entire process is people trying to convince Americans how to vote. That is what Democrats and Republicans are doing the entire time!
Obviously each party has to convince the masses who to vote for. And obviously this is done via news articles and televised debates. But you know damn well I was referring to random clowns on social media telling other people what to do with their vote. No one's opinion here or elsewhere matters. And if I were new to American elections, I wouldn't have mentioned swing states and the importance of knowing what your vote can do if your state is not a swing state. And no, his comments were not trying to convince people to not vote for Biden - he just said he wouldn't vote for Biden - and that's his choice with his vote. I thought it was pretty clear.
