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 did make sense and I can appreciate and respect a coherent world view. It seems like some other people took my comment negatively, and I really appreciate you taking the time to share your viewpoint. I have also previously expressed at least some respect for people who were negatively affected but still hold fast to their trumpism. In my opinion they at least walk the walk after talking the talk. Other people have responded saying that I'm basically respecting people that are brainwashed and in a cult, but I agree with you somewhat that at least they didn't shy away from the consequences of their actions and that's commendable.
I think it's kind of terrible to put people in a lose/lose position that they had only an insignificant amount of control over being in in the first place. No one got to decide on Harris, and I think telling people that voting Harris and not voting Harris both enable genocide doesn't help the cause. If that is your firm belief and you're unable to conceal that because you think it's important that people know, then more power to you, I just feel like it doesn't really help. People will prefer to not vote for genocide than vote for it when if know its inevitable they'll be considered responsible. But I do have to respect you for being consistent in your beliefs, even if consistency might not be the most beneficial or expedient thing.
Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to genuinely respond. I hope next time there's a better option for us all.
