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!

When have I asked people not to vote for Kamala?
In fact, if you recognize my username and pattern as you say you do, then you'll see multiple comments of me telling people that I support and respect their rights to vote for who they want. In fact, I'll start putting that in my disclaimer from now on too. Because you seem to be overlooking that fact.
How is posting a news article "encouraging people to not vote for Kamala"? Do you think people are so week that me posting an article is going to magically make them not vote for Kamala?!
Just because I personally am not voting for the corrupt two-party system doesn’t equate to supporting fascists — I'm personally just voting for the candidate that I think is pushing for real change and ending the status quo.
But I'm fine with people voting for who they want. And I have never asked anyone to vote the way I am. You don't seem particularly fine with the concept of people voting for who they want to, though.
It's a news article, friend. I didn't write it. If you feel the article is inaccurate, please reach out the the news org who wrote it and let them know if you don't think they should be publishing it.
