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!

It pretty much is, or if they push to a 3rd party who will end up taking away 5-10% of the vote, that's just as good as campaigning for Trump.
Stein, Kennedy, West have absolutely no hope of winning even a single state, much less the election, but they will make it certain that Biden doesn't win.
Really? Everyone who isn't actively campaigning for Biden is campaigning for Trump? Is there anything else to which Biden is entitled by virtue of being the second worst candidate?
If I don't sell everything I own and donate every dime to Biden, have I actually sold everything I owned and donated it to Trump?
Well now that you ask, you also need to talk about how amazing the economy is, and how young and vigorous he is, and like how much safer we are with a secure Israel and stuff.
Any conversation that isn’t talking about how amazing Biden is, is propaganda for Trump.
(Excuse me while I go wash my mouth out.)
Everyone who isn't actively supporting Biden will make sure Trump wins. Yes.
Well, you've certainly worked out who to blame.
Can you provide an example of a US election where a POTUS has stood aside from reelection and a better candidate took their place and won?
I'll go ahead and wait.
That the ego of most presidential candidates won't allow them to seriously contemplate standing aside doesn't mean that there arent better options.
Arguably, Clinton standing aside in 2016 might have prevented Trump. Alas, the ego of both her and the party elites would not have allowed it. So thanks for Trump I guess, DNC.
If Trump beats Biden, the loss is on both the idiots who love Trump and those in power in the DNC who refuse to embrace alternatives to their Chosen Few.
So if I'm not out bothering my neighbors by knocking on doors and littering the highway with signs I'm campaigning for Trump?
If you aren't supporting Biden you are actively helping elect Trump. Yes.
Libs are fucking deranged
Case in point.
