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!

Reality: if you don't vote or waste your vote because you're unwilling to make the better bad choice, you are part of the problem.
This one issue voting stuff is a trap, it's how the USA got where it is today.
Stop knee-jerking and go do something useful.
Actually this lesser of two evils shit is how you got here.
Voting for a lesser evil only legitimizes evil. I suppose it’s too much to ask for people to have principles though. Our childhood heroes would be ashamed of the adults we have become.
“We should all swear fealty to Saruman, because technically he’s less evil than Sauron.”
To be clear, I’m not talking about AOC, I think she has learned the error of her vote to fund the Iron Dome. But my point stands with regards to any corporate Dem.
thats .. nuts. Issues arent all of equal importance.
School vouchers are not worth single issue voting. Nor is naming of a post office. But something like genocide support, or the civil rights act, or womens right to vote? Each of thsoe are 100% worth single issue voting. I say murder of innocents is important. You evidently ..dont care.
If the dems want to run supporting AIPAC bribes again when 80% of the dem voters dont support the Israeli holocaust of Palestine, then the dems will lose again, and they will deserve to lose.
That's not what they're saying at all which makes your statement disingenuous. Why are you talking about naming post offices? It's the idea is no single, one, issue should be enough to outweigh every single other one.
The people who didn't vote Kamala to "protest" her on Isreal literally contributed to Trump getting elected. Making the original comment very accurate so it's kinda wild you're calling it "nuts".
