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 voted for Harris in attempted harm reduction.
But if those people are the focus of your ire and not the administration or those that voted for him, your giving the actual villains a hell of a pass.
People will turn out for Democrats when they abandon neoliberalism. If they'd rather support big corpo to the world's end, then we'll never get a vote in the right direction until collapse.
"Freedom"
Oh, most of my bile is reserved for donvict and the redhatters, make no mistake. But the Enlightened Centrists (TM) and the maximalist so-called "leftists" surely didn't help matters.
Claiming that Kamala and donvict would have been the same on Gaza, so sitting out or making a protest vote, or worse, just outright voting for donvict because they think - on that one issue only - that they'd be the same is just mind boggling in its absurdity. They are quite obviously not the same on nearly every other issue, several of which will cause real, lasting damage to millions of Americans now that donvict was able to slither back into office.
Kamala certainly wasn't going to empower and enable militias looking to do actual violence, as a for instance. But yeah, these people bleating about how they are the same, and hey, I didn't want to vote for genocide are just insufferable.
