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!

Good thing we only had Kamala and that didn't happen!

When the choice definitively boiled down to Harris or Trump, leftists who chose not to vote for her do NOT care about genocide.

Could you imagine the horrors if we had banded together and voted in an intelligent black woman in instead of the orange clown?

Naw man we have to worry about what someone else did with a foreign conflict, and the fact that she didn't personally reach out to every terminally online leftist and promise them a unicorn that farts the Soviet national anthem every day that smells like pineapple and french fries.

She had a whole three months to reach out to every leftist I don’t know why she didn’t.

Leftists: Biden is too fucking old why is he running.

Biden - For the good of the country I'm stepping aside, and my VP is running in my stead. I stand behind her.

Leftists: Why the fuck did we not have a primary? You fucking fascists.

angrily hits keyboard and proceeds to complain more

If AOC runs for presidents you’ll see all the leftists complain that she’s too far right.
