Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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.

I've literally never seen anyone on the threadiverse suggest that you should not vote for Democrats.
Wait here a second.
There we are, found it.
There are LITERAL accelerationists here that will tell you that voting is bad, because the system needs to get worse, so it can finally collapse. And they are not a small minority, though a minority they remain. They will gladly sacrifice anyone who dies to a fascist regime on their way to accelerate the collapse.
I think you're mistaken. That post says "vote your ass off".
I linked to a specific comment by kreskin, read that.
Maybe you are just lucky but most likely its my own fault for enganging to much with these people. They are rarely explicit about it in the first comment.
Well personally I find it disgusting to suggest that we shouldn't hold "our team" accountable simply because the other team is worse.
I've literally never seen anyone on the threadiverse suggest that we shouldn’t hold them accountable, or that they are “our team” for that matter.
As i said before. My suggestions is to make it clear that a vote =\= support by large anti fascist protestation the second they get elected.
Yeah, this guy replying to you does not have any good faith.
Your comment is the reason i engange. Things are rarely obvious at first.
If that's not what the original comment I replied to was suggesting, then I'm not sure what it was. This whataboutism comes up constantly.
Its the pre election timing.
Bertlewirth does not appear as a troll/propaganda to me. But i can understand that fonix may have confused them with being such because in many peoples experience there is a huge movement of democrat bashing right before an election that stops just after it. Pretty much the opposite of what it should be.
The whatabout facism-lite when we should idealy do everything to stop the facism-hard is one of the reasons many progressives are jumpy right now.
I don't understand any of the words you're saying. Can you try again in English?
Or would you prefer Russian?
Sorry, i didnt know you where a child.
Yeah, so you have literally seen zero comments about not voting for Democrats, but everyone is constantly trying to cover for Democrats....
Why do you so freely admit to lying like this, honestly? You could do your canvassing without being so insanely obvious about it.
