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!

I root for her only because she’s pissing off Trump, which I enjoy.
I agree, but also I think that it's dangerous. I don't think she has a chance in the primary, but if she does win I do think she has a chance in the general. Her policies are horrible, but it seems like none of that matters to anyone anymore. She's dangerous.
Not as dangerous as Trump. I'll take a policy loss in return for a delivery win.
I don't know. I think she has a better shot at the general than Trump. She has almost no chance in the primary because the republican party is poisoned by Trump, but she is more appealing to anyone else who hasn't stayed behind him. Most people are aware of how bad Trump would be, because we've already seen it. They aren't aware of how bad she'll be because they don't actually know anything about her.
I thought about voting for her in the Ohio primary this year just to try and get under Trump's skin, but that would lock in my voter registration until next year and I don't think I could stomach having an R next to my name and having my mailbox stuffed full of their propaganda for a year.
Then again, having an R next to my name might be a good survival strategy if Trump gets in office and legalizes liberal hunts or something of the sort.
Man, your guys system is so fucked.
You should see our district maps!
To clarify, when it cones time to voke, you can vote for whoever you want, but primaries are how the parties pick who they get behind. Generally it isn't allowed to vote in the primary for more than one party, or some people would vote in all primaries, helping put their candidate into multiple parties, or tanking a party by poisoning their ballot.
