Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 this election then. And then campaign after the election. What's stopping you from being the change later? Why teach the a lesson now, when the alternative is Drumpf?

Vote this election then.

I already have. How many times do I have to say that I HAVE ALREADY VOTED FOR HARRIS.

And then campaign after the election.

Centrists are great at coming up with excuses for why it's never the time to do what they don't want to do. There will be a new excuse and a new timetable for when it will be acceptable to say anything in opposition to centrists' genocide. When that passes, there will be another date and another excuse.

We just have to do it when we won't inconvenience them with a changing world and they can go on doing exactly what they are. Preferably so quiet they can forget we exist.

Thanks for voting! I didn't see it in your OP, and I dont keep track of what Lemmy users say across posts.

Im not a centerist. However there is a time and a place with everything in life. November 6th I'm ready to start promoting a new voting system and changing whats causing this mess.

I would argue: Look at the what the people doing the genocide want and vote for their most likely opposition.

Its clear The Heritage Foundation, Netanyahu, Putin, Musk, Thiel etc want Trump to win. I would recommend Voting Kamala on those grounds as denying your enemy a win is far better strategic use of voting as a tool than believing the democrats will ever do the right thing.

Oh for fucks sake. Like an abusive relationship.

“I swear this time it will be different!!”

Who you vote for does not imply who you are in bed with. Unless you like sewing discourse

Since I’m not terminally online and I have real conversations with real people in person on this topic, every single person I spoke with regardless of who they were voting for was unhappy with their choices.
