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!

A vote for Democrats is a vote for a party that "isn't trump" but isn't particularly interested in stopping him or the impending fascism.
As opposed to the guy who literally is fascist and "comes up with Hitler's talking points independently".
The camps won't be summer camp.
Sure maybe they'll start with trans youth. Then lgbtq. Then brown people. Then cat boys.
Do you really want to live in a country without cat boys?
Eventually they'll find a reason to go after you or someone else who you do care about.
You posted Bernie or bust in 2016 on live journal? Choo Choo! Off to the camps!
My point is we've played this game for decades and it still led us to Trump because democrats and liberals DON'T DO SHIT TO STOP THEM. They're complicit because they still benefit from Republicans getting their way.
Voting dem doesn't stop fascism, it only delays it by an election or two as Republicans continue to consolidate power and disenfranchise voters while the dems shrug because they think the only true injustice is hurting Republicans feels.
Yep let's vote Trump and get it over with right?
If every person who shrieked a vote for a third party elects trump voted for a third party, we'd get a third party.
You're the one voting for Trump by refusing to move away from a broken system. Voting slightly less right is still voting for the right. 🤷
the poem starts "first they came for the communists" so you can sit down.
Okay sure let me know how many communists you know?
Let me know what your solution is?
Because they certainly have the roadmap for a final one.

me. I'm a Communist. so you can take your identity politics and status quo dick sucking and sit the fuck down.
See you in the camps then
I'm not voting for genocide no matter how vivid your revenge fantasy
P2025 only scares white liberals because it finally targets you. Everyone in the global majority have had versions of P2025 for decades, if not centuries. You demand we come to your rescue to prevent your version of P2025 while you didn't have our backs while they were oppressing us. In fact liberals did worse, claim to support their plight while electing the people that amplified the struggle. Restructuring the executive branch to benefit the donor class has been happening since Clinton and his DLC.
Hey that's fine, see you in the camps!
So fucking mellow dramatic
