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!

I chose to vote against Trump instead of making a misguided attempt at hurting the better real candidate. When you all get Trump again and he doubles down on Isreals actions I hope you regret it.

Trump is not a candidate in the Democratic primaries.

In Minnesota you don't have to register with a party, just pick a ballot.

And Trump isn't on the same one as Biden.

Yeah so you can waste a vote by voting undecided or you can at least attempt to nominate someone other than Trump on the Republican ticket.

I cannot. I live in Texas, where uncommitted was not on the ballot.

I voted for a non-Biden candidate in the primary in order to register my disapproval with his unconditional support for the genocide that party leadership has always wanted.

I had progressives to vote for further down.

Well we don't have that problem here and I was talking about Minnesota voters.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What do you consider to be a problem? The ability of people to register their discontentment with Biden's support for Netanyahu's genocide by voting uncommitted? Having progressives anywhere on the ballot to vote for?

In any event, if you're going to address me directly and order me how to vote, you should consider that I might not be from Minnesota.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You responded to me, in a post about Minnesota votes ......

[–] [email protected] -2 points 8 months ago

After you ordered me how to vote in reply to me daring to point out that Trump isn't on the Democratic primary ballot. Guess people from Texas aren't allowed to point shit out.

Is this some kind of coordinated attempt by the DNC to fake total support for Biden? Or are you just unable to read, or worse?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

This was just the primary
