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!

I'm not voting for Trump tho.
A vote for third party in this country at this time with the current voting system is a vote for Trump. Similarly, a non-vote is a vote for Trump.
In effect "I'm not voting for Harris" == "I'm voting for Trump"
Just go join your Trumpet friends on Truth Social already
Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!
Ah yes, the third-parties who have a 0% chance of winning because of the rigged 2 party system.
If you ever want to see a third party candidate, it's in your best interest to vote Harris to keep Trump out of office.
Once that's done, then work can be done on getting states to switch over to RCV or similar, if enough states switch (or a miracle happens and a federal law mandates it for federal offices) then we might actually see a third party candidate in office for once, maybe even by 2028
But not if Drump gets in office
Exactly what the Duopoly wants you to think.
But hey, I respect and support your right to vote for whoever you want to. And I'll vote for who I want to.
I’m concerned you might not have time to vote, since you post here on average every eighteen minutes.
That’s like on average every eighteen minutes, day and night and week day or weekend.
For nearly a month and a half now.
Thanks for being such a fan that you keep stats. I'm posting some more stuff right now, so be sure to update. Thank you!
No one needs to keep stats. It's called a profile page. A really hard concept, I know.
Will you be posting to Lemmy while standing in line to vote for Jill Stein?
What a brilliant new copypasta.
But I'm not voting for Trump. I'll stay right here and keep posting. Thanks!
Lol whatever you say, Trumpet
Feel free to believe whatever you want to believe. I'm still not voting for your candidate though. :)
