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!

Yep. I'm not concerned one bit what self-described Socialist Chaos Tro...w is going to do in the privacy of the voting booth. If all it was doing was voting Third Party, I'd only blame it in aggregate for the outcome if Trump won by thinner margins than the number of idiots (and I'll stand behind using this word to describe them) who voted for Left-Wing Third Parties.
What I'm arguing against is this poster and its ilk coming in and saying we shouldn't vote Dem, and pushing inane BS like the Dems are somehow as bad as or even worse than the GQP and that it's OK to throw our votes away as Third Party votes in light of what Team Pepe and the Trumpster Fire has planned for everyone in this country.
I'm too OLD to fight in a Civil War!
I've never said you shouldn't vote Democrats. I said that I wouldn't vote Democrat because I'm voting third party. But I have always said I support and respect your right to vote for whoever you want. The same rights that I have. Even if it makes you mad.
I personally think the Dems are as bad as the Repubs. That's totally my right to think. And I am totally free to express that opinion. Just as you are free to express yours.
Dude, calm down. People are allowed to have different opinions than you.
