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!

No, if I wanted to vote for Trump, I'd vote for Trump.
But I'm not voting for Trump.
I'm also not voting for your candidate. I don't care how mad you get, how bullying you get, how much you call me a Trumper or a russian, or a troll or spin analogies, etc.
I'm not voting for your candidate. I've explained why. You don't like that. Ok, well that's fine.
This conversation is done. I've explained my viewpoints several times. You just don't like it. Then you turn around and say that I am acting like "I JUST DON'T LIKE IT!"
Nothing you have said has changed my mind.
Me, and many of my friends, are not voting for Harris. Accept it. Move on. You haven't changed my mind at all.
In fact, speaking with you has made me more determined than ever to not vote for Harris. So good job, friend!
It's a revealed preference. And your preference is to help trump, which is absolutely your right. As is enjoying ice cream while a child runs into traffic.
I haven't bullied you, called a stooge, russian, troll or anything of the sort. I have called your simplistic and nonsense opinion childish which seems appropriate.
I haven't "spun" an analogy (how would one even do that?) Though you seem to realize how accurate it is as you've refused to articulate why it doesn't apply other than that it highlights the moral abdication of your choices.
The folks who fought for democracy probably wanted even more progressive candidates but, thank heavens they, unlike you, realized the importance and consequence of their votes.
And after all that, I am still voting for Jill Stein. :)
Nah, if I wanted to vote for Trump, I'd just vote for Trump. I'm actually voting for Jill Stein.
And you totally respect and support my right to vote for who I want, just like I support and respect your rights to vote for who you want, right? Right?
