Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Im sure as shit not going to choose the "lets get the fascist into power", only a complete dumbass would do that.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

But who decided that's the only choice?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Its not the only choice, youve just decided youre going home and youre trying to take the ball.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

So by voting for a candidate other than Biden or Trump I'm taking my ball and going home?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

"There arent any leftists candidates for president. I know what will help! I'll elect a fascist!"

This is you, you sound like this.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You are being hyperbolic, you told me that I have options, but in reality I either vote for Biden or if I choose not to vote for Biden then I'm giving away my vote to facists (Trump), that's not democracy it's extortion.

I didn't vote for the fascists, and I didn't get a choice in their opponents so don't try and blame me because the Democratic Party doesn't want candidates that aren't going to support their business interests. If they had ranked choice voting they could pull this crap, but they don't and they won't so stop acting like I'm responsible.

Yup! Now take your ball and go home.

Just dont be mad when your actions lead to a fascist united states. You helped.

Clearly it's my fault that dems decided to run an unpopular canidate, now who's heads in the sand? Why don't you just go ahead and blame me for the economy and climate change too.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)
