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!

No. No I am not.

My food is more expensive. The house I want to buy is further out of reach. My medical care is more expensive and more restricted.

The southern border crisis still rages on.

The difference is my country is now complicit if not instrumental in a genocide and is in more military conflicts globally.

Just because Trump risks being the worst thing to happen to democracy in the history of humanity, we cannot excuse genocide.

The funding of the genocide and blocking of UN attempts to address it are real. Trump’s demolition of democracy is, as of now, merely a risk.

Yeah, a risk because he might not win the election, despite how much you're trying to get him elected. It will also be MUCH worse for palestine under trump.

Genocide is genocide. The Palestinian people get eradicated by both Biden and Trump. There is no "worse" genocide.

Too bad that's not the only thing that matters

There is no “worse” genocide.

Really? This is a really stupid take. Some genocides are in fact worse than others.

The Palestinian people get eradicated by both Biden and Trump.

Even if this were the case, which it's not because trump would assist FAR more and it would be much worse. But even if it were the case, with trump we ALSO get regressive LGBT laws in the US as well as who knows what else, possibly more supreme court appointments. And 1 of these 2 people WILL be president next year. You don't get to pretend you're making some noble choice by allowing the far worse option to win.

Proponents of genocide, people who think the extermination of some races is ok as long as it isn't theirs, don't deserve an opinion and a platform.

Shame on you.

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension

I think you need to work on your entire brain.
