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!

Whoa, i was with you up until one of your sentances.
Dont disparage the voters, weve been demanding change from the dems for years. Its the party leaders that are at fault. The DNC will not allow a decent person to run as our candidate, which is why the DNC needs to be removed. Personally, I think the leaders of the dnc should be at least kicked out of the country, maybe out of life. You dont get to be just as bad as the republicans and still get to enjoy being taken seriously.
Fair enough, I didn't mean all dem voters, it'd be weird if I did since I voted Harris lol. I was more talking about shitlibs who think any criticism of Biden's policies or calls for more action to stop genocide in Gaza is basically support for trump, I should've worded it better. Tbh if there's any chance for democrats to win in 4 years (there won't) I might still vote for them in the vague hope that the far right will cannibalize itself and die with cheetoman, but the fact that they won this time around and democrats' compete and total cooperation have pretty much killed my trust in them as far as trying to stop fascism or fundamentally improve anything that won't be undone with the next republican president
Yeah, i knew what you meant, I was just being a shitlord.
I 100% agree. The republican party is actually malicious, and the dems are useless. Anyone campaigning for either party is at best ignorant and at worst evil. The solution no longer lies in parties, the solution lies in forcing everyone to understand that we are no longer asking. Its time for people to actually demand that the world improves, and if you stand in the way of that, you dont get to experiance the world. Worst part is that the malicious and ignorant are no longer just the US' problem, Trump is going to fuck the entire planet.
Third parties should maybe stop being Russian asset dipshits and then what you're saying might turn into something other than pointlessly raging into the void.
