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!

If critisizing political parties is a waste of time youll understand entirely why endlessly criticizing the GOP isn't a legitimate strategy.
What I'm saying is pretty fucking clear. You can recruit 100,000 people to support third parties but until the system changes you're pissing in the wind. I think you know that deep down. But it's probably easier to just blame everyone who won't join your pointless crusade
The system is changing and the faster you abandon the dems the faster we can counter the GOP. I don't give a shit about any parties at this point. Moving forward elections won't be free and fair. You think you're still playing the same game. You can "wait and see" but you're just allowing the disease to spread.
Name even the tiniest shred of evidence something is changing. You seriously just watched fascism voted in and you see that as a fucking positive thing?
I think I'm playing the same game? The game is fucking over, and delusional people like yourself played a role
What the fuck are you even arguing then? The game is over. The longer you cling to the democrats the longer you delude yourself allowing fascism to take hold while giving yourself false hope that the dems will do something.
I don't even know where we are disagreeing anymore. Also, how did I ever play a role lol. You have no fucking clue.
The game is over because of a bunch of morons, some of which thought their protest vote was a good thing
