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 why this is being downvoted. Harris’ campaign is basically saying what 538’s and Nate Silver’s new model are saying - it’s a draw. The numbers are all within the margin of error.
He’s saying that people need to show up volunteer if they don’t want Trump in office. You can’t sit this out.
Edit: I see the user name now. I get the downvotes.
Yeah, I get downvotes from people who don't bother to actually read the article. Which is too bad, because I think education is the key here. People need to know what's going on. And we can't rely too much on polls because of the margin of error.
I agree with you, people need to get out there, volunteer and put the work in for whatever candidate they want to win.
I've already voted, but many people haven't. People need to get the move on out there, support their candidate, and more importantly, vote!
You get downvoted because you're a pro trumper false flagging as a "third party" voter.
You're spamming all over the place too.
I didn't vote for Trump. Never have. Never would. Feel free to believe whatever you want though. Thank you! :)
Sure, sure sure.
We all totally believe you. 😉
You get heavily downvoted because people despise trump, who you're clearly looking to elect.
That's pretty rich coming from someone who repeatedly refuses to be educated on the futility, danger, and self-sabotage of voting third party in this critical election. I know you don't believe this is how reality works, but you voted third party, so you voted for Trump.
Lots of people are voting third party. So does that mean they ALL refuse to be educated on the futility, danger, and self-sabotage of voting third party.
Or could it be the fact that some people just disagree with you, friend? Thanks! :)

Well the democrats are scared and angry about it. Lemmy is scared and angry about. And the Democratic Party actually made and released and ad targeting Jill Stein specifically. Why would they do that if there weren't many people voting third party?
Cope harder
Yes. That’s exactly what it means. Voting third party, like we’ve told you before, is not the way to have your voice heard. It’s how you ensure Trump gets back in office.
There’s a big difference between disagreeing (I disagree with Biden and Harris on a ton of different issues), and being willfully delusional about how our election system works (not how you want it to work, but how it actually works). You are being delusional and will help get Trump reelected. I’m swallowing my pride and voting for Harris, who is the only person with a chance of beating Trump.
Well voted for who I wanted to. No swallowing my pride at all.
Bingo. And there’s your problem.
No problem for me at all. I voted for who I wanted to vote for. Proudly. Thanks! :)
