Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
At the current moment, democrats are the only option to stop what's happening. After the current mess is dealt with, exploring other options are viable again.
Voting 3rd party right now is like refusing to let the firefighters onto your property while a wildfire burns down the neighborhood.
“Can’t trust the firefighters! They have ‘fire’ right in the name! Every-time there is a fire the firefighters are there! Coincidence?”
Meanwhile, republicans are running around with cans full of gas and a box full of matches…
Edit: Oh and the third party candidate is seemingly promising to build a utopia out of the ashes and saying this fire is very unjust and shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
this is precisely what I want from a candidate
Burn all your possessions then.
this is a nonsequitur.
No, it's pointing out the inherent stupidity and immaturity of your comment.
calling me names won't change my preference, but it does expose your own bad faith engagement
How about appealing to common sense?
A 3rd party candidate cannot, I repeat cannot, win a presidential election.
So voting for one that's promising a utopia is a pretty bad move since they literally cannot enact any change since they cannot win.
If you're talking about voting 3rd party in smaller, local elections, more power to you. That way maybe you can help build up a 3rd party so your children or children's children can vote for a 3rd party candidate for president that could actually stand a chance.
