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!

Lol
I'm voting for Harris to stop Trump, as I would have done for Biden again, as I did do for Clinton at an empty polling place, as I would for a baked potato to rot on the oval office desk for four years if it was the only candidate against fascism.
But let's not get it twisted, I do this out of harm reduction precisely because greed and greed worship are our sole PRACTICED national cultural values. The small number that have too much, and the legions who fantasize about being the immoral, exploitative, sociopathic bastards instead of breaking the wheel.
If they weren't, we would have pulled the owners out of their towers and l guard gated golf clubs decades ago for what they've done to us and our children.
And we've used our state department and military to propagate our greed disease for decades. We are patient zero for the greed rot of the developed world.
I wish we weren't, I wish we'd change, and I wish the vast majority of Americans didn't laugh Occupy Wall Street off their occupation, but like it or not, and I despise it, We are the United States of Greed.
But if you'd like to argue that that isn't all we are, we can talk about the role our national pastime, shooting eachother, has in our national ethos.
