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!

Democrats didn't point a gun to your head and tell you to stay home. The Democrat nominee wasn't God-tier-perfect, so you pulled a temper tantrum. If you opted to sit the election out, that was a decision you made. You made the active choice to help return the man you're supposed to be dead set against back to office. Don't go around blaming "Democrats" or anybody else for the choices you made.
These were your choices. Own them.
Maybe next time you'll learn that you don't stop yourself from shooting yourself in the foot by aiming the gun at your own head instead.
Imagine being so brainwashed that refusing to condone genocide and acknowledging liberals as being the left wing of fascism is viewed as god tier perfect. The mental gymnastics coming out of BlueMAGA is giving MAGA a run for their money
So the solution to a politician who is "condoning genocide" is to instead elect a person who was actively campaigning on genociding harder, seizing the land, and turning Gaza into beachfront property for the rich?
The solution is not to platform fascists. Nobody wins in a fash vs fash election.
This is kinda basic to any reasonable person but something that the dems choose not to understand (because they support fascism).
You still think dems can win running a pro genocide campaign from (what they call) the left? That strategy is a special kind of stupid. Dems will not only continue to lose but continue to permanently lose voters from their base if they keep trying that. But I say go for it-- its time to get rid of the existing democratic party and form something new anyway. So good luck to you.
