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.

Do you ant Jill shills understand how corrupt the Democratic party is? Biden straight up supported segregation and Kamala jailed poor children's parents because they skipped school.
And there's countless times Democrats have collaborated with Republicans.
Imagine defending Stein's lack of empathy for the genocide in Ukraine... even just remotely.
As close as we are to the election, they’re getting more desperate.
Anti Jill Shills?
Wait... You mean some of you are actually getting paid to publicly point out this flawed candidates's clear record of failure/inaction, especially dirty funding sources, "interesting" vodka scented dinner parties and clear intentions as a spoiler candidate working purely on behalf of conservatives?
So your response os to let trump win?
So you're saying the slavery preserving Electoral College is my fault?
Yes, it is if you don't do anything about it.
'hurdur I am voting for a party that never wins. I am sure love helping!' People have died for less and here you are bitching and crying like a little first world brat because your ego wont let you do what little you can to actually help. Hate the electorial college? The democrats are the only chance you have at switching to the popular vote. But you don't actually care.
If I could award this, I would. Well said!
No it's not. Sorry it's not the responsibility of the most vulnerable to take on power just so you can be comfortable in the middle class. Enjoy Trump all because you were too cowardly to take a stance on genocide.
So your answer is to let it happen in Ukraine too. Interesting.
Olympic level cognitive dissonance needed to get all these hoops aligned
Oh, you are one of the ones who think Trump will try and stop Putin. Gotcha.
I said nothing in support of Trump so get that ish away from me
You are not the one doing anything to stop him from taking power.
No, I'm pointing out 3rd party voters have olympic level cognitive dissonance
I'll explain like you're five.
I'm not a third party voter or a trump voter, or undecided. Go bark up someone else's tree ya drunk
Friendly fire is a real problem. Would be nice to have a flair system
I am not voting for Trump. You are the ones who wont do anything to stop him. If you gave a shit about the vulnerable you would do something to make sure the 'they are eating the pets' guy does not get into power. And that is not throwing your vote away to a hopeless party.
It is ABSOLUTELY the responsibility of the most vulnerable to take on power.
No, haha they're the least able and risk the most. Middle class white Americans are the wealthiest people on the planet, why don't they.
“stAncE oN gEnoCIde”
In Soc 110, we were taught that's exactly why there is a middle class: to serve as a buffer between the wealthy and the poor. The middle class is shrinking.
There's a middle class because of settler colonialism and WWII. You get to have a house because a whole continent of land was stolen via genocide. So it's no surprise Western libs won't stand against the Gaza genocide since your own wealth is predicted on genocide as well.
Yes. Maybe that's why even though I voted for Clinton, I still was sympathetic to Antifa and Black Bloc. Cognitive dissonance was loud. And I fervently hope I don't backslide.
Well said!
When you protest vote? Yes. That is what people are saying.
Do you Shill Stein supporters know what whataboutism is? It’s 2024. Someone HAD to have explained it to you by now.

What is this? A Jill for ants? It needs to be at least 3 times bigger!
