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!

Ah, comrade, your calculations are almost as sharp as the blades of the capitalist machine that grinds down the working class daily. I'm glad that I am so important to you, that you keep statistics about me.
But let me tell you, the fire that burns within me—within all true revolutionaries—never tires, never dims. I speak out relentlessly not because I am exhausted, but because the truth demands to be shouted from the rooftops until the walls of this oppressive system crumble.
As for your tired trope about Jill Stein being a "useful idiot"—it's a clever little trick, isn't it?
A diversion meant to scare folks back into the arms of the very duopoly that’s been strangling true democracy for decades.
You cling to the narrative of "spoilers" because you're terrified—terrified that the people might just wake up and realize there’s a world beyond your two-headed snake, a world where the voices of the oppressed can rise above the din of corporate puppetry.
Keep trying to sow doubt, my friend. It only fuels the revolution further.
Lol, we aren't scared at all about this nobody party we hear nothing about or from except at the last second in some desperate attempt to claw validity from thin air. We are annoyed we have to put up with this pointless BS that has literally zero chance of success and only serves to help the opposite agenda.
TBH I support their down ballot running everywhere they have a legit chance to win or even seriously impact the Overton window, but her dumb ass running for President at this pointless stage in the game has no chance in hell of either.
It's funny how a "nobody party" that supposedly poses no threat can stir up so much anger and frustration. The replies and responses to this article suggest that some folks might be more scared than they're willing to admit.
People don’t get this worked up over something they truly believe is irrelevant.
I’m not even voting for Stein—I’ve shifted my support to Rachele Fruit of the Socialist Workers Party, who aligns more closely with my socialist convictions. But I still support Stein’s fight to break the stranglehold the Democrats and Republicans have on this country.
they can never win, they can only make other people lose. that’s a pretty shitty raison d’être.
I didn't write the article and I'm not voting for Stein. You'll have to bring that up with them.
