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.

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.

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!"

If Trump wins there won't be a 2028, homie.
A lot of people don’t understand this. 2024 will very well be the last real election before we turn into russia-style sham elections which always result in putin getting elected.
Russia's next honest election will have Putin falling out an inexplicably open window. It can be American history if America goes fascist.
Very true. Let's do our best to ensure that doesn't happen.
That’s what everybody said about 2020, yet we had an election, Biden was in power, then Biden started enabling and supporting genocide.
Seems like we might have made the wrong choice.
I would rather have an inept evil moron than the competent evil wolf in sheep’s clothing that we got
Bruh, just stop. Nobody is fooled.
What exactly am I trying to fool people with?
How extremely anti-Biden I am?
What I think of the Buffoon Cheeto in chief?
I think it is pretty fucking clear where I stand.
With transphobes and homophobes, apparently
Yes, because I say fuck supporting genocide I must hate transgender and homosexual people.
Did it hurt trying to stretch that much?
Option 1: The genocide continues.
Option 2: The genocide continues, possibly gets worse. The government persecutes gay and transgender people and Muslims and immigrants.
Option 3: Option 1 or 2 happen anyway but you don't vote for a viable candidate.
If you're picking options 2 or 3, then yeah I don't think you care that much about gay and transgender people.
Forgive me, if I think dead people are more important than the ones that are just going to be alive and repressed.
At least they’ll still be alive.
As long as someone is alive, we can work on improving the situation.
But once we send weapons to support, genocidal, actions and killing, and then people die well. We can’t improve their life now.
So yeah, maybe if you guys actually cared you’d run someone to fucking hasn’t sent weapons to kill children with while by passing Congress twice.
You have fun telling yourself whatever you need to vote for someone who is actively supporting genocidal actions.
Have fun, showing them the human lives are worth that little to you and they should keep on doing whatever the fuck they want because you’ll vote for them anyway
You seem to be under the illusion that the dead people are going to live instead. They don't. Your options are:
Dead people
The same number (or more) dead people, plus repressed people
You very clearly see these two options as equally acceptable, which means the repression of LGBT people means nothing to you.
