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!

You are confusing the democratic primary with the presidential election. I don’t support Gavin Newsome. However if my choice is a Republican or him I choose him. Not sure where you live but if you’re American you’re severely misinformed about how our system works. My guess is you voted third party then last year and essentially approved the genocide by Israel since trump blatantly said he supports then.
You're the confused one, unfortunately. You're just regurgitating Democratic party nonsense.
By voting for a lesser evil, you are still in fact voting for evil, and you're okay with it because at least the lesser evil doesn't touch you and yours. You don't give a shit about minorites and the poor the Democrats use as rhetoric and abuse, you don't care about the illegal war crimes funded by your tax dollars, you don't care about genocides of brown people, they don't affect you and that's good enough for you.
If you had principals and you stuck to them, you'd vote for a candidate that upholds those principals, not just talks about them around elections. By voting for whatever the Democrats force down your throat, you reward the neo-liberal machine and keep it in power. You're not saving the country, you're not saving your children's future, you're just giving yourself a little bit more comfortable life, and damned by the consequences.
You blame us for refusing to vote for a candidate that promised to kill more and more of our people, and you're confused why we don't see it your way. We don't get the benefit of your lesser evil, because it's evil to us.
Vote for your lesser evil, they'll lose again because we're again telling you loudly we'll not settle at the cost of our children being shredded to pieces by you party's bombs, and again you're to blame for the eventual result: fascist takeover.
And this is all assuming it hasn't happened yet and there will be free elections anymore, and I'm not convinced you'll have a true choice next time anyway.
Based on your post history you are a citizen of India so I’m not sure why you’re commenting on American politics.
