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!

"Actively." There's that word. What does that mean? Usually it means you're doing something that causes another thing. Let's go with that for a second. Let's say I don't vote for Harris. Does the genocide end? Almost certainly not, so my action is not perpetuating it. If Trump wins do more people die? Probably, so taking action that causes that is actively creating that situation (and doing nothing is still a choice).
Harris at least has said continuously she wants to stop it. I'll actively be part of that instead of actively being a part of making that not happen. Fuck off you genocide enabling ignoramus. Go ahead and pretend like you're doing something in your quite place.
Mental gymnastics. You're helping people who want to commit genocide and expand it get elected.
She's said many things I like, and as I said she's said this many times before. This isn't the first time, but I don't expect you to know that. Go sit in your corner. You aren't informed and only want to complain about not getting your way, while also not working towards that.
Who is doing anything to help trans people? How can you even say what you're saying and imply you're doing it for trans people? You're either up your own ass or you have no political strategy. You're telling people to vote against the things you care about and you think that's going to get you political power. You're horrible.
