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 dunno, I saw lots of people in the comment sections leading up to the election that were quite vocal about not voting/voting 3rd party.
That might be because the DNC campaign brought on Liz Cheney and said nothing will fundamentally change. Those people you are referring to were voters, disenfranchised voters who could have maybe swayed, but now we are a the cope stage
(1) It was the Harris campaign, not "the DNC". Why would Harris give a shit what "the DNC" thinks about anything? Harris was giving money to the DNC, NOT the other way around. You know that the DNC is not a person right?
(2) There were many proposed significant changes. A $3000 per child tax credit isn't a huge thing? The billionaire owned media didn't want you to learn about them so that Trump would give them gigantic GOP tax cuts. So the media buried it. You could and should have made the effort to learn what they were but you didn't. You could have read her 82 page PDF of policy proposals.
(3) As long Harris didn't change any of her positions to get Liz Cheney's endorsement, why would she NOT want a free endorsement from a Republican? Especially since everyone knew that Cheney only endorsed Harris to highlight that Traitorapist Trump committed treason against our country.
Doesn’t change the fact that they were non-voters in the comment section.
Change isn’t always good. Yes, I too want change for the better, but voting in change for the worst, even by not voting, is still abysmally stupid no matter the reason.
Welcome to US politics where your choices are abysmally stupid or worse…which might be the reason people are looking for another party to call home or just give up entirely
