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!

So Trump is in your best interest? Because it is an either/or situation.
No, it’s not. And pushing that narrative is why we’re in this shitty mess.
My state will go for Trump. It went for Trump in 2020 by a wide margin. I will not be voting for Biden, I’ll be voting De La Cruz, probably.
Wait, you think De La Cruz can win? The entire election? Is that really what you expect anyone else to believe?
Or you think your protest vote will mean something, and you feel comfortable throwing your vote away because it won't matter and Trump will win regardless?
Because you might be right about that, but that's a different argument than telling people not to vote for Biden.
Nope, De la Cruz will not win, I’m not stupid. But if my vote for Biden is going to get overridden by others in my state, I might as well vote for the person I actually agree with.
And I have never told anyone not to vote for Biden. I’ve presented why I am not voting for Biden. But most people on here seem hell-bent that anyone criticizing Biden must be a fascist Trump plant.
