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!

Start at the local level.

What makes you think I haven't. I totally stumped for my local green party. And the green party has won local elections: Californians have elected 55 of the 226 office-holding Greens nationwide. Other states with high numbers of Green elected officials include Pennsylvania (31), Wisconsin (23), Massachusetts (18) and Maine (17). Maine has the highest per capita number of Green elected officials in the country and the largest Green registration percentage with more than 29,273 Greens comprising 2.95% of the electorate as of November 2006.[68] Madison, Wisconsin is the city with the most Green elected officials (8), followed by Portland, Maine (7).

maybe you should vote for the candidate most likely to support a change

Oh, I am. I'm voting for Jill Stein as president this November. Proudly so. I have the shirt, the bumper stickers, I volunteer. It's awesome.

I have the shirt, the bumper stickers

That's creepy and weird just like how it's creepy and weird with the whole trump cult. It's politics, not some concert for a band

Ok, be sure to tell the thousands of people that wear Biden-Harris shirts that.

You realize that EVERY party has people who like to wear their shirts, right?

You realize that it's still creepy and weird to idolize parties of politics right.

I don't care what 'side' does it. It's creepy and weird. Stop trying to spin this like you know my political stance. I'm staying neutral for a reason.

And I am fine if you think that. You are definitely entitled to your opinion.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't asking for your approval on my thoughts.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -4 points 3 months ago

That's ok, too. But letting each other know our thoughts is sorta what this sub is about. Have a great day! And you are entitled to your opinion. And I am ok that you don't like mine.
