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!

You do you, I'm done holding my nose to vote and I absolutely will never vote for Republican light, controlled opposition establishment Democrats. I think many people agree with me.
Well know who to blame when trump light makes it in in 2028. It will all be on you. Could have stopped it and didn't will be carved on your tombstone.
ShredderrFeeder, I'm not voting for genociders of either party. I'll write in a third party name or leave my presidential vote blank. Its my vote, not yours, and I dont take criticism from people I dont respect. I dont respect people with your half assed helpless hostage logic. Feel free to cry or have a tantrum on the floor if it makes you feel better.
If you don't vote, you don't get a say. If you piss your vote away on someone who doesn't have a chance, you also don't get a say.
No crying, no tantrum. I am lucky in that I'm a middle-aged white-man so I likely won't have any issue survivng the next Trump..
But I feel sorry for the marginalized communities who WILL (and ARE) suffering.. They don't stand a chance if the republicans get another term..
Progressives very much have a say in whether the DNC centrists get elected or not. Did you notice that our support comes with real strings now? We have wised up to the idea that the centrists dont give a crap about anyone or anything but the donors. But by some miracle they still need progressive votes, and cant squirm out of that no matter how hard they try. So the centrists will treat us like partners or the country burns, thats the deal. Thats us having a say. You dont have to like it. And your little "oh no minorities will suffer" bit is rich. They were already suffering under Biden/Harris and the DNC ignored them. Their suffering is not some sort of future condition. Wake the eff up.
An enormous group of what used to be the Dem base is absolutely right there with you. More than enough to destroy the DNC if they dont pull their heads out of their asses.
