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!

In a two party system where both options bad, voting against the option that wants to end democracy is your clearest route to one day electing a progressive. Not voting allows for one more vote for the guy that wants to end democracy to not be negated; to which point you’ll never have to concern yourself with voting again.
What a stupid system. No wonder America sucks.
Not sure which party you mean is saving democracy. The one suing to keep green party off state ballots, and that refused to primary a candidate with a 33% approval rating, or the other one.
I’m talking about the party that DID NOT send insurrectionists to the capital to attempt to keep their wanna-be-dictator in power after he lost. I’m talking about the party that does not want to end voting, that has forgiven some student debt, that hasn’t intentionally shifted more wealth to the richest among us, that wants to keep the EPA around so that there might actually be a future.
Trump, they're talking about Trump obviously. To read it any other way is disingenuous and if you genuinely think they may have been talking about Biden then you're delusional.
Trump should be in prison along with all of the insurrectionists from January 6th. He shouldn’t even qualify to hold office at this point.
The entire supreme court disagrees with you.
The Supreme Court agrees that a single state doesn’t get to change a presidential ballot. The GOP’s candidate is in fact a criminal and should not be on the ballot for that alone; but that’s the best they can bring to the table.
If there are no charges there is no crime
There’s also that pesky little $454 million dollar guilty verdict around the fraud case too.
Again, absolutely nothing to do with this thread
I guess you forgot about the E. Jean Carrol case that he was found guilty in. That’s just one… I like my presidential candidates to not have criminal records.
Keeping up his hard sometimes I know, but this thread was about the supreme Court decision in regards to keeping him on the ballot.
Tunnel vision eh? Another horse with blinders. My statement yesterday was that the GOP should have put up a candidate without a criminal background.
And the DNC shouldn't be offering up a candidate that's enabling ethnic cleansing.
Your original comment specifically mentioned ballots
And you’re mentioning the outcome of a Supreme Court decision that never happened. Don’t worry about the Great Replacement; you and the rest of your ilk of degenerates will still be able to find a seat at the back of the classroom indefinitely.
You mean this decision that never happened?
No, not that decision... this one is where the courts decided that individual states cannot remove him from the ballot. Where was this supreme court decision you mentioned that they decided he should not be in prison? You are clearly confused.
I never claimed SCOTUS said he shouldn't be in prison. SCOTUS rules on constitutionality of law, not criminal cases
