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.
- 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.
- 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!

That’s what most of the political articles posted seem to be. It’s always one of three things:
- Biden way ahead in polls over Trump
- Trump way ahead in polls over Biden
- All president candidates suck, do t even bother voting
It feels like one big disinformation machine.
A 3rd party vote is wasted, and failure to participate means leaving the decision to others. Both are foolish choices.
I don't want either of this redundant old farts running this country. I'm voting for Biden though because I'll not a fucking moron.
This is my favorite way I have ever seen it said
“People can't pay their bills, credit card balances are through the roof. Inflation is high. Democracy is in peril. Immigration is out of control. So, there's a lot of pain going around.
Well, one of those things is not like the other. Let's see if we can improve that quote a bit,
People can't pay their bills, credit card balances are through the roof. Inflation is high. Democracy is in peril. Lazy morons like me who haven't had an original thought since the Clinton administration are still getting paid way too much money to be experts. So, there's a lot of pain going around.
Much better!
why cant we just call it what it is; fascism vs democracy. names irrelevant
Is there no alternative democrats this time around?
The long track record of voting the lesser evil has gotten us to the point now. We are choosing between two genocidal old men. If there was ever a time to take a stand and change course, it would be now. Democracy will always be on the line if you're infinitely choosing between two forms of evil.
vote biden because other choice is bad and choosing an alternative is bad too and not voting biden would be fascism
confused how being forced to vote for one person and party is democracy but hey not allowed to vote would not know
Why don't liberals vote for trump and push him left after the election? That approach has worked wonders on Joe.
