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!

A vote for Stein is a vote for Stein. Don't try to bend logic.
Voting third party is viable when we change the voting system, to ranked choice voting for example. Until that time comes, the two primary parties will remain dominant.
That is never going to happen.
It's sure not going to happen by voting for Stein.
It's literally already happening. Locality by locality state by state at least take the time to look around you before you make any absolute statements. It's going to take forever at the national level absolutely. Far longer than I should. But it can and will happen.
It's more like throwing your vote in the garbage, with the electoral college, but thanks for revealing what you are so I can block you
If I didn't get a good laugh from every stupid thing Index says on a regular basis, I would have done the same already.
If voting for a third party is throwing your vote in the garbage, voting for parties backing a genocide is throwing it into the toilet.
Nope, sorry. Since those parties can win, your vote will not be wasted.
Blocking people just because of who they vote for?! lol Ok....
No one owes anyone engagement. Especially someone like you. Who's showing themselves repeatedly to be disingenuous and bad faith. You don't have to like it. But there's nothing you can do about it. Outside of act like a better person.
Oh come on. They're a little overzealous about posting but it's a major stretch to call them disingenuous and bad faith simply for disagreeing with you.
Sorry, I don't communicate with people who support genocide enablers like Jill Stein.
🤷
Nah, you're wrong.
Amen, brother!
