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!

I don’t know what you’re taking about but that feels like a ad hominem and definitely is considered a personal attack.
Would you like to continue to personally attack me or continue this conversation in a more civil manner?
So you're saying that you're not downvoting every post I make? That's awesome!!! See how much easier it is to be friends rather than enemies!?
I'm glad we're cool after I mistakenly thought you were accusing me being a forum slider, or an election spoiler! Thank you!
I'm glad you like cornel west, so of course I support your voting for him. Just as you support me voting for Jill Stein.
I'm not a fan of his, but it sounds like you may be, and that's OK.
I support your right to vote for whoever you want, friend.
And please, let's keep our comments civil. Thank you!
I’m trying to have an on topic conversation here which you are continuing to try to derail with ad hominem and personal attacks after I asked you nicely to stop and have a civil conversation.
I think you have me confused for someone else, but in case you’re not can you show me the offending comment please?
I'm not trying to derail anything. I totally support you if you want to vote Cornel West. As you support me voting for Jill Stein!
You ARE correct. I did confuse you for the person who is stalking me and going into my subs, and downvoting everything. No way that could be you! You like me!
You'd never do that!
I've corrected my comments. Thank you for catching that!
I feel certain that you totally support my right for voting for 3rd parties, now. Thank you!!
And please, let's keep our comments civil.
I’m trying to understand what you’re saying here.
Have I ever been uncivil towards you?
I'm not sure. Have you ever been uncivil towards me?
You support my right to vote for whoever I want to vote for, right?
It’s rude to not answer a question and ask your own.
Answer mine and I’ll answer yours.
I'm not sure what you mean.
But really, thank you for supporting my right to vote for whoever I want to vote for!
Not everyone here supports that. Glad that you do.
Have I ever been uncivil towards you and if I have can you point out a comment?
It’s the same question I’ve repeatedly asked.
I'm not sure, have you ever been uncivil towards me?
Thank you for supporting my right to vote for whichever candidate I choose to vote for, thank you!
There you go answering my questions with questions of your own again.
Why are you accusing me of stuff, personally attacking me then acting like a victim?
Am I acting like a victim? Why would I have any issues with you?
I know you support my right to vote for whoever I want to, even if it's 3rd party.
You do support my American right to vote for whoever who I want to vote for and who matches my personal values, right?
So why would I have any issues with you?
And like I said, of course, you can vote for Cornel West if you'd like and I support you voting for whoever you wish, but I'll vote for Jill Stein.
I think you should shit in your shoe and run a marathon if you want to but you’re still refusing to answer my question about accusing me of being uncivil to you.
Well, that comment certainly doesn't seem very civil to me. Have you been uncivil to me in any of your other posts?
Why in the world would I have any issues with you?
I support your right to vote for Cornel West if you want to, and I already know that you support my right to vote for Jill Stein. Right?
So why in the world would I want to be enemies with you? You seem to be cool to me. I have no issues with you.
What’s uncivil about it?
If you read my full comment I am stating my support for whatever you would like to do, including shitting in your shoe and running a marathon if you’d like.
I don't think the language or the analogy is appropriate.
And that's why I have no issues with you. You support my right to vote for Jill Stein, and I support your right to vote for Cornel West.
We're on the same page. I have no issues with you.
Just because you’re clutching your pearls doesn’t mean that it is uncivil.
Like I said, I have no problems with you
You have admitted that you support my right to vote 3rd party. So we're cool.
And I also support your right to vote for Cornel West if you want.
Dude, we're on the same page. So I'm cool with you.
So when have I said I was going to vote for Cornel West?
Im not going to waste a vote on him, he has no chance getting in.
All I said is that they were neck and neck in the race.
Oh so you're not? Ok, well I support you voting for him, or anyone else you feel matches your values.
I support your right to vote for anyone you want to, as I know you support my right to vote for anyone I want to.
We're cool, friend.
