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

Honestly, I'm almost at the point where I really don't want to vote for a shitty Democrat over a MAGA.
Slowly slide right with every vote or let the mother fucker burn bright and hot, I'm really leaving towards the bloodhound gang.
I mean look at what happened when voting for Katie Hobbs, you've now got 400K people, 100K kids starving due to capitulation in SNAP and she's reported to be running with a Republican now.
What the ever loving fuck is the point of voting Democrat when you're literally saying you're aligned with Republicans? And harm reduction? 400K people and 100K kids starving, starving like I had to go through growing up being food insecure, isn't fucking harm reduction and none of these assholes put up any sort of a fight to stop it. Just let "Compassionate" Christian Republicans just steamroll them like soft ass asphalt.
yeah i'll just vote to make myself illegal nbd
Bold of you to assume you'll have a choice
Your first line of nonsense tells me you’re an idiot, or a disinformation operative. Pick pretty much any random Democrat, and they will absolutely be better than a MAGA fascist.
Fuck off with this nonsense.
Your first line tells me you're a pathetic Democratic cuck that MLK warned us all about. Oh, no someone has an opinion that differs from mine, there for it must an idiot or mean disinformation! What a fucking pathetic joke that I expect from the standard Democrat. Can't even have a conversation without some ad hominem attack from the stock dumbass Democrat instead of a nuanced conversation.
Glad you like having 100K kids starving because moderate Democrats are so pathetic they can't fathom on how to push back against fascists and that's the best you can do for your justification for "harm reduction". Fuck off. I'm tired of the bare minimum better than a god damn Republican and that's what I see from the Democratic party at this point. Just pathetic, no action, no idea assholes that take corporate and foreign money and barely work for the American people.
Me I'd done even more so with Democrats that before and their pathetic crap and slowly killing everyone vs doing it quickly and painfully to make sure people wake the fuck up. Jesus fuck, you had millions that sat out the vote in the last major election because people are tired of the whole dumbass mantra about blue no matter, which isn't reciprocated btw when a progressive manages to get the nomination, who instead of standing for something and you're whole shtick is to just keep fucking that chicken. It's pathetic and honestly I'm just about done with the Democratic white savior, do nothing, bullshit. Fuck off with your Republican nonsense.
So you’re an Accelerationist, got it. Me, I’m tired of the bullshit opinion of folks who either sat out of the elections, or threw away their vote during the November election somehow trying to blame the Democrats when it’s the MAGA party that is causing this absolute shitshow.
Want to move the Democrats left? Make sure they actually have all three branches (which btw hasn’t happened since a small window during Obama’s first term).
Bot for the more progressive candidates in the Primaries, but come November when your chance is D or R, there’s only one obvious choice, unless again, you are either MAGA or an Accelerationist.
There's no nuanced conversation to be had because your argument isn't based on anything close to a nuanced perspective. Going to paste my same reply from elsewhere here:
Trump's choice to immediately dismantle America's climate policy will kill 1.3 million people, most in India/China/Pakistan/developing African countries. Tell me again how superior you are by throwing away a vote to keep them alive.
