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'll agree with one point: protesting is all they have left. It isn't going to get anywhere as the bluff will get called and may actually hurt support by annoying staunch anti-Trump friendlies, but, it s all they have left so go for it. Keep throwing your tantrum until you're spent, then vote Blue as it's your only real choice and everyone knows it.
That last part is where you're fuckin up.
They're perfectly content to stay home. Believe it or not, there are people who will not compromise on genocide.
Those people are compromising on genocide.
Grow the fuck up - one candidate is worse for genocide... if you don't vote against them you're enabling more genocide.
The world is rarely black and white so when shits important you need to make sure we make the better decision, even if it's not great.
If that's how you choose to see it.
Don't worry. Nobody who cares about genocide is voting for Chump. Nobody is under the illusion that he is in any way better.
But without an arms embargo and permanent ceasefire. Might just stay home.
This is black and white. Cut and dry. It's my tax money dismembering babies right now. It's my goddamn tax money that is raping prisoners, harvesting organs, filling mass graves, shooting at clearly marked journalists, bombing hospitals schools and refugee camps. That is starving 2.3 million people right now.
Kindly [redacted] yourself. (Hey mods. That redacted isn't a 🗡 it's a 🍆)
