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!

A vote for none is still a vote. And it means that you're ok with either option.
So can you guys fuck off with that whole bullshit.
The majority of Americans were supportive of a second trump presidency.
If they weren't, they would have done something about it.
No it isn’t. what a ridiculous concept. Then everyone who didn’t vote voted for Harris, and therefore the country voted for Harris.
Buddy, keep jerkin’ yourself off with that if it makes you feel better. I can tell you’ve looked at zero polls and voting numbers because you’re just making shit up.
A non-vote is still a vote.
That's how democracy works.
You are so close to getting it.
By not voting they are saying that either option works for them.
I'll try and frame this differently for you.
If you're at work and the bosses come up to your department or whatever. And say "we are organising a meal out for everyone, we'll let you guys vote and decide"
It doesn't matter what voting system, how many options, or how many votes a person gets. Not voting still counts.
During discussions to decide on the short list. Non-participation counts.
If it comes down to two choices. Pizza or Chinese, if you are ok with either option, and neither draws you better than the other. Then you would vote for neither.
You ever see voting results for bringing laws in. Those in favour are counted, those against are counted, and those abstained are counted.
Because a non-vote is still a vote.
Genuinely have no clue what you're on about here. But I guess you're insinuating something, something way off base. But Trump won the popular vote, of everyone who voted. The majority picked trump.
If the majority of people were against trump, he wouldn't have won the popular vote. They would have gone out to vote.
