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!

Have you? Dems and repubs switch control back and forth constantly. We still have genocide supply, abortion bans, no functional student debt relief.
What if every person telling me to vote the lesser of two evils, voted independent?
The SCOTUS is republican though. The republican SCOTUS killed Roe. Have you been living under a rock?

The sky is not going to magically turn purple.

Lol. But YOU are the person telling me to vote lesser of Two evils.
YOU are the one refusing to change for the better. You and a bunch of people who think like you.
Im gonna spell it out for you because it seems you are having trouble.
You're the problem. you are the reason 3rd party candidates don't get enough votes. Because YOU dont vote for them and tell other people not too vote 3rd party.
Am i being clear?
I don't see how that has any relevance to my pointing out how ridiculous the "what if everybody suddenly changed their behavior and did X".
You're the one abstaining from voting, therefore refusing to help make change happen.
I on the other hand am voting for candidates willing to bring election reform to fix the two party system issue.
It's an inherent bias in the FPTP election system we have. I'm not responsible for the inherent mathematical behavioral flaw in the system I never agreed to or created.
You're being clear. I understand perfectly well what you're saying. But you're failing to understand how emergent behavior works.
ah, this reminds me of the problem with voting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaxVCsnox_4
