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'm explaining that you don't understand what the article you're commenting on and you're being very aggressive about it for some reason.
For some reason there's been a steady stream of new accounts like yours accusing me of "being a dick" for explaining things logically.
I'm not a new account. You're nit-picking semantics when fascism is taking place and being a dick about it.
Votes are being thrown out in order to make those votes not matter. If doesn't matter if there will be a show election in two months, the result is the same. Previously "too close to the election" has been the repeated refrain to disenfranchise black voters with illegal maps, now it doesn't matter that votes have already been cast. It's naked and open and you're arguing semantic details as if we need to maintain a front of stolid respectability.
No...
I said one comment. You've been arguing pedantry up and down this thread. Get outside or something, dude.
Weird...
You think the way to get someone to comment about something less...
Is to reply to them about it?
Yeah bud, facts and/or logic isn't going to help.
I'm gonna block you now, if you want to keep replying me, feel free.
