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!

This is exactly my largest concern with Trump’s plans for foreign policy:
Russia has been committing genocide in Ukraine by abducting over 700,000 Ukrainian children, placed in foster care to be raised as Russians. Trump told Viktor Orbán, the autocratic PM of Hungary, that he would not give a penny to Ukraine if he takes office again.
Pulling support from Taiwan and the Philippines, in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, would result in immediate control of their imports by China and Russia.
Trump supports Israel in total eradication of Palestinians and suggests they stop recording and reporting the atrocities.
He previously repealed a law on Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory that Biden has since reinstated. Netanyahu was so grateful that he named a settlement after Trump in Golan Heights.
Trump plans to give Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu the freedom to take what they want under the guise of isolationism.
More of the college crowd needs to see this and really think about their “protest vote” in November. It can and will get much much worse if we don’t vote for Biden.
Do I want a better Democratic candidate? Of course. I also realize that Joe is leagues better than Trump, despite any deficiencies
Let it burn and maybe democrats will finally see they are contributing to the rightward fascism we are experiencing.
A 3rd party vote is not a protest vote, a protest vote is one cast against something, the way Democrats do.
I’ve gotta give you kudos:
I see you all over these comment sections like it’s your full time job and you consistently have the absolute worst takes. Brain rot GOAT
Your method isn't working, that's like repeatedly banging your head on the wall wondering why the fuck you have a headache.
I guess I don't understand. If you don't vote, then the Democrats will move further right to grab more of the Republican votes...
Good, let the 2 of the duke it out to see who wins. Theres only room for 1 right wing party in the US.
Even if I did vote their actions reflect that they dont care what voters think, or that we have any influence on policy
Youre method got us trump in 2016, so kindly fuck off
Hillary, and Hillary alone gave us Trump
