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 for the democrats to decide. but i will not vote for him full stop. they have time to change if they wish. but voting for him is a non starter
You aren't required to vote for him in the primary, but failing to vote for the Democrat in the general is how we got Trump again.
If you don't want another shitshow of a Republican president, you have to vote for the Democrat.
if my choice is between him and any republican, then bring on the end of democracy. enough with the farce. i will no longer vote to further gild this age.
Well then you are lost.

we have had this discussion before… it was extensive.
Bears repeating. Your methodology is a race to the bottom, encouraging the worst candidate gets elected every time.
Nothing changes if you sit things out except it all gets worse.
"One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." - Plato
your argument is just an unpresuasive as the last time you parotted it. either democrats will provide a candidate that backs my interests or i won’t vote for them. period.
Then you want the Republican to win, congrats!
