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!

Oh, so NOW there's no numbers that will make the party not fringe.
lol Right. Dude, just admit it. You're so scared that Trump might win, you are mad that not everyone is voting for Harris.
You keep being scared. I'll keep voting for who I want to.
What are you afraid of tho? I mean, if Stein has no chance, and Harris is so awesome, then you are a shoo in to win. Right?!
Why so angry and afraid of a 3rd party that you think has no chance and no hope? Shouldn't affect you at all, right?!
Not. What. I. Said.
And I think you know that. I’m not going to give you a hard number because that’s being pedantic and not worth the time.
In a debate? C’mon. You can do the risk-reward analysis as well as I can.
There’s practically zero upside, and they’d have to spend time, energy and money that can be better spent elsewhere.
It’s entirely natural to be strategic, and the simple fact is, the barely-a-quarter percentage of voters is going to get reached either way; and there’s a lot more to be gained with other events.
Of course you don't have a hard number. Because the reality is that you just don't want 3rd party options.
Attitudes like yours are what make me happy to vote for 3rd parties.
Yeah. You don’t know anything about me.
And you don't anything about me. We're even. Did we just become best friends?!
