Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 think people are shitting on you because they just don’t like the concept of third parties, but then suddenly change their tune when it’s beneficial

That's exactly what I think. And I am seeing proof of it here every day! lol

And not all republicans are "fascists" by the way. I talking about strictly party loyalty. I don't care who the repubican candidate is, the vitrol would be exactly the same.

You guys don't like it when it affects you, but it's totally fine when it affects them. Yes, that is hypocrisy.

And how long are you all gonna play the "fascist" card. Is it only for Trump? Or will it be for the next Republican too? And the one after that? And after? What about the people who vote republican, are they all fascists too? Is half the country fascists now?

You guys are just as extreme as they are. And just as cultish.

Not only that, the arguments I have had with people here on Lemmy, has done NOTHING to change my mind on the Green Party. I'm looking for to voting Green now, more than ever.

LOL, a "socialist" hesitant to call Republican politicians "fascist". Yeah, sure. I totally believe you.

I'm confused, what part are you uncertain about?

I said not all Republicans are fascists, and I stand by that. I also don't think all Republican politicians are fascists.

What part is so surprising to you? Do you think that half of the country is fascist now!?
