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!

Not voting or voting third party is letting other people decide.
Biden is a bad candidate. He's too old and supports genocide in Palestine.
Trump is not fit for office. He's too ols. He's mentally deranged. He supports genocide in Palestine, fascism in USA, NATO being at war with Russia etc etc.
Voting least bad is a poor choice to make but there is a very clear answer.
US bipartisanship has ruined the country's political landscape, imagine living in a democracy and considering voting for someone else than the two big names is not a good vote
It's the same in the UK. I live in Australia, having moved from Ireland and living in the UK. It blows their mind when I talk about PR, yet we have it here in the Senate.
That's not bipartisanship, it's first past the post voting. You either vote for one of the big two, or you're taking a vote away from the one of the big two you'd prefer to win, making the one you want to win less, more likely to win. Is it fucked? Better believe it. Does it need to change? Aw hell yes. Do we have to work within the system while it's still the system? Yes. Yes we do.
Biden exists to give you a not-trump option.
As a non US, it was amazing not hearing how bad your president was for 5 minutes... then we got how bad the ex pres was.
