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!

Im LibSoc, so neither. You keep asking everyone who they voted for in this thread... Kind of sus
Understandable, but as a Canadian who has voted many times, but never Liberal, NDP, Progressive Conservative/Reform/Alliance/"new" Conservative/WTF-they-might-call-themselves-in-the-future, and one who gets flak and downvotes because apparently a lot of leftist progressive Americans (even Noam Chomsky) believe that people should shun 3rd parties and vote Democrat (such as Chomsky saying Clinton was preferable to Green or others), and work within the Democratic party, even though the last time they had a relatively progressive candidate, IIUC, in 1972, he lost 49 states.
So when a person protests wt:thons progressivism, leftism, and/or socialism, I ask who they voted for (did they vote for Harris? Biden? Clinton? (as I think of it) Obama a second time? Kerry? Gore? Slick Willie a second time?).
Take the Planer scandal.

It's now going to be a choice between Collins or Platner's replacement, who might or might not be Troy Jackson, even though it seems that a group who collected 4000 signatures before June (this year—2026) could have fielded a candidate for senator—not field a contender for the Democratic party nomination, but a candidate in a senate race—far more to their ideological liking.
Well, your generalization of age groups is not good.
FWIW, i left the usa after the 2000 elections (i voted 3rd party). The writing was on the wall with regards to the direction of the country. Best decision i ever made in my life.
Thanks for answering, well done, and best wishes. 🙂
