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!

Oh man, are you really prepared to take on the responsibility of being the third person in the country to vote for her? That's a lot on your shoulders, it could really turn the tide.
You might singlehandedly raise her percentage from less than 1% all the way up to less than 1%
Well if only 3 people vote for her, then there shouldn't be any anger or worrying just because I posted an article. Right?
It's a distraction, and you know it.
You were implying that she's not getting enough votes to matter.
I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but are you Challenged by any chance?
Because I'm not voting the same way you are? So do you think half of the voting public is "challenged" somehow? Maybe you can clarify.
Your comments make me think you're a little simple in some way. Again, not trying to offend. Your responses are ... not normal. I think you're being honest. But you talk very strange. It might just be me though.
But it's whatever. I'm not trying to argue or insult you at all. You do you.
I do wonder what made you change from Stein to whoever it was you're voting for now? I find that interesting.
Oh, I still like and support Stein. But now I'm now in a state where I'm actually able to vote for Rachele Fruit (very small party, not on ballet in many states). And she's a better fit for the values I have.
Well, if you think I'm like that, can ya please tell that to all the Lemmy's who seem to think I'm some grand russian spy mastermind, who's part of some vast conspiracy to enable Trump to win?!
Not only that, a few here are totally convinced I am a "team" of people, operating from Russia, and that I post 24 hours a day.
So trust me, it's refreshing to have someone accuse me of the opposite.
Oh and for the record, referring to a person as "simple," can absolutely be seen as abelist.
Thank you! :)
I mean, simple seems better then mentally challenged. But, whatever you prefer.
Neither are great terms, friend. Maybe just stay away from saying anything like that. But you do you.
Sorry. What would you prefer?
Thanks:)
I don't think it's necessary or good form to even talk about the subject in a political commentary sub. Thank you! :)
ok thank you! :)
Thank you! :)
Thank you!! :)
