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 mean privilege like the ability to let Trump back into office without risking your own skin?
Your party created Trump and they will always have a version of trump. The fact that he is in there is your party's doing
So then by this logic, you're a democrat? Since you're trying your best to elect "our creation". (btw I'm not a "democrat" I just have no choice but to vote for them currently since I'm not a privileged sociopath)
edit: also you didn't answer the question because how could you? It's privilege and we both know it.
Socialists don't vote for conservatives like Republicans or Democrats. Trying to distance yourself by proclaiming I'm not a Democrat but have no choice is like driving the getaway car and claiming innocence.
My skin is at risk regardless of which shade of fascism sits in the halls of government. And so is every other marginalized group out there. They remain marginalized regardless who you vote for
As it gets closer to election day I'm really finding myself missing 2016's Bernie Bro.
They were the more creative and interesting version of the generic third party posters that fill the role these days.
You can pretend voting for anyone but a democrat will help anything, but that is either indicative that you're actually a republican or extremely opposed to being logical about this.
Voting for Democrats hasn't helped shift, and it won't in the future. They don't represent the working class and they are surrounding themselves with conservatives as they become the dominant conservative party
Then vote for Republicans. That is 100% what you're doing if you vote third party. Pretending otherwise won't change a damned thing
I know election math is as confusing as toilet paper math, but try and follow along. A vote for candidate A goes to candidate A. A vote for candidate B goes to candidate B, and so forth. A vote for candidate B does not go to candidate C or A Still with me, or was that too confusing?
Now, when votes are tallied, every ballot cast for candidate A stays in the candidate A bucket. Same with candidate B, C, and so forth.
If candidate B has shit in their bucket and is demanding everyone still place their ballot with them, they can't be surprised when no one wants to go near the shit bucket. if it's unclear, Democrats are bucket B
I get it. Tankies 4 Trump 2024.
Fortunately your view is extremely unpopular, but unfortunately we need every vote we can get against Trump. Sorry you can't understand basic logic and will thus be supporting Trump and you will have nothing to show for it whatsoever unless he wins and that's what you want. Which wouldn't be surprising to anyone reading your comments.
Typical liberal voter outreach, 'fuck you, you worthless POS, now vote for our BlueMAGA fascist or else everyone dies.'
No only the bad faith troll lying assholes get treated that way. They've shown they're a lost cause.
