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!

Will she be funded by Donald Trump again like in 2016?

Is this the first election in American history with more Russian candidates than American ones?

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 18 points 1 year ago

Let's see:

  • Fascism is calling from inside the house
  • All of the Republican candidates are fascists
  • The Supreme Court is stacked with Federalist Society-bred Christian Originalists.
  • Trump is likely going to be the Republican nominee

And here's Jill, like, "Mmm, yeah. Now's a good time to try to split the vote."

[–] Heresy_generator@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because of course she does.

Ouch, that is some of Russia's top brass, what the hell is she doing in the middle of all that?

I just went from.... maybe.... to nope in one picture.

Wasn't she the dividing vote for democrats in the 2016 election?

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hillary being a shitty candidate is what caused 2016

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Found the third party voter

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

You make it sound like this discovery was found with extensive investigation.

How 'bout No?

[–] Reptorian@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No thanks. I'll vote who is likely to win based on mathematics with weighs on preference on top and those I prefer on the downballot. Do this enough time, and there will be a split between progressives and moderates when conservatives eventually become ineffective minority.

Well it's certainly better than Howie again. Cornel West should've stuck with the party. Him on greens would have had an unprecedented shot.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Stein, a physician who ran against Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in 2016 as the Green Party’s nominee, previewed her latest run for the White House on social media and unveiled an accompanying website.

Stein wrote on her website that she is entering the presidential race “to offer people a choice outside the failed two-party system, so we can put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot in November.”

Stein’s last national bid in 2016 sparked considerable anger from Democrats, who argued she contributed to the election of Trump by taking away votes from Clinton in close swing states including Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

She has promoted early support of the progressive platform, including a Green New Deal, the sweeping environmental reform agenda favored by climate activists.

The 73-year-old doctor and environmental advocate joins a chorus of outsiders competing for the Oval Office as discontent with Biden reaches new levels a year from Election Day.

In addition to West, fellow progressives Marianne Williamson and Cenk Uygur have launched long-shot bids, as well as independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who is running against Biden as a Democrat.


The original article contains 411 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 51%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
