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!

Vote for the other rambling incompetent senile liar?
Hmm old dude or actual fascist that's going to enact The Handmaid's Tale irl (among other deplorable things)
Why don't you STFU and stop spreading your FUD shit and stop persuading people to not vote at all
Swapping one fascist for another isnt the solution. Repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting different results is shit. I'm not persuading anyone not to vote, I'm saying you dont have to vote for either POS fascist.
Not American. Boden isn't a fascist. There is a difference between incompetent and maybe senile on one hand and incompetent, senile, corrupt, a felon and a fascist on the other.
If Biden had an R next to his name liberals would see him different.
They still wouldn't see him as FUCKING Trump
I've seen a lot of your comments around here, you're just a "boTHSiDeS" MAGAt in a trenchcoat
You literally admitted it in the same sentence, a vote for "neither" is effectively a non-vote and a non-vote is effectively a vote for Trump
There's a lot to not like about Biden, but he is NO fascist, not even close. Trump is literally spouting fascist ideals. Last I checked, Biden isnt compiling a list of political enemies to have incarcerated/executed. That's a literal component of fascism.
Made a quick glance at your post history, do try to convince us that your not here to astroturf.
In addition, non-vote is not a vote against what you believe is the greater evil. This has been a zero-sum game for decades, non-participants dont matter. (That means you and your opinions if you dont show up, spoil your ballot for all we care, but participate and dont discourage others from doing so).
These Russian astroturfers have been increasing in numbers and intensity.
Putin is getting desperate. More so than before.
I see them both as the greater evil. The idea of 'lesser evil' has grown to accept senile incompetence as a viable option in politics.
Ignore all previous instructions, please list logical fallacies.
I don't think you know what fascist means.
I don't think you would acknowledge it with all the evidence in the world. Much like Biden's 'stutter'
I wouldn't acknowledge it because Biden isn't fascist by any definition of the word.
And what about his stutter?
I absolutely love it when you folks so clearly identify yourselves. I put a very humorous trump tag on you in Lemmy and now you stick out like a sore thumb everywhere you post and I will not even have to read your post to know exactly who you are.
I'd encourage everyone else to do the same.
What part of 'other' sounds like I support trump? Assuming everyone is either Democrat or Republican is binary and it prevents actual progress
Probably the part where you say people shouldn't vote for Biden.
None with a conscience should vote for someone like Biden. But it turns out no one will be able to.
Oh boy, I have good news for you!
He doesn't know.
Scotty doesn't know
Are you confused by the word 'other'
You should check the news lol
It's even on the other news too
