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.

Fun fact: for a third party candidate to qualify for ballot access in New York, they need to get 45,000 signatures (which none managed to achieve this election cycle). That means that in a state of 20 million people, no third party candidate could earn the support of just 0.225% of the population... Even Kanye got a larger percentage of the vote than that in some states!
And yet there are still people in this community trying to convince us that these candidate are running in good faith, when clearly no one actually wants them. Hmm...
Well apparently some people want them, or the Democrats wouldn't be so made about them. :)
Agreed, a number can be smaller that 45k but still bigger than zero. Hence why she's campaigning as a write-in candidate.
That's exactly right, unfortunately the third party candidate I wanted to support (Jill Stein) wasn't on the ballot in my state because of aggressive (and probably illegal) litigation by the Democrats. I voted for Donald Trump since ensuring that Democrats don't win is the most important thing we can do to stop the genocide in Palestine right now.
Keep up the good fight, we can't let corporate Democrats control our future.
You expect the other guy to do better? The same guy who said he'd let Israel have their way with Gaza? As per https://www.vox.com/politics/353037/trump-gaza-israel-protests-biden-election-2024 ?
How do you figure that this is better?
