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!

The best part is if you could, you'd vote for him again without learning anything every time
Well yeah, I would have preferred to not have to uproot my family and emigrate, but now I'm left without much of a choice in order to protect my queer daughter from what Republicans have in store for people like her. I'm weird that way.
Voting for anyone besides Trump was the objectively correct decision.
Sorry spite makes it hard for you to process reality
What the fuck stupid shit is this?
Once Nader lost in 2000 it was over and inevitable. It showed republicans you can cry and win. Then the war on terrorism and the Patriot Act and the tea party now here.
Thinking people vote Biden and now bad is what a moron with no historical context believes. Your comment is stupid.
What's the solution then, vote for Trump? 🙃
Democrats cared more about preserving the First-past-the-post voting system then they did beating trump. They wanted easy elections with no one threatening the status quo.
The self proclaimed democracy defenders didn't level the playing field and give 3rd parties equal access to the electoral process.
Given their rhetoric, democrats understood what was at stake and still chose to not replace FPTP voting in states they controlled. Party over country till the bitter end.
