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!

Liberals don't look for truth, they seek confirmation bias. The exact same thing republicans do.
Liberals wont hold Biden accountable, someone has to do it. If trump were doing the exact same things Biden is doing right now, and he will, democrats would be in an uproar.
And socialists do what exactly? Cry online and suggest everyone withhold their vote? How is this fixing anything. None of you bother to show up to vote anyway, so everyone pretty much writes you off as no big loss.
You believe in an untested/unproven system that has a VERY poor track record, and yet you smugly shout from the rooftops that you know of a better way while the only suggestion you all seem to have is guaranteed to destroy democracy- not voting.
And you wonder why people accuse you of being right-wing trolls.
So forgive the rest of us when we show it back that you’re not to be take seriously.
VOTE LIKE LIVES DEPEND ON IT- because they do.
And you call us smug.
Votes should be withheld until they are earned, that's how this democracy thing is supposed to work. With the current system your rights are held hostage by your own party for ransom in exchange for power. But in the end you never get rights, you get bread crumbs with more promises of rights which never materialize. When you are defending someone funding and condoning genocide you and your party are not the lesser evil.
Yes. I call you smug. And suggesting that people don’t vote is about the most selfishly ignorant thing you can do.
Don’t forget manipulative and unethical.
I'm not saying don't vote. I'm saying you don't have to vote for either right wing senile pedo.
Name one third party candidate that can beat Trump in November.
I’ll be waiting.
Based on polling, your main line right wing senile candidate can't win either
So you’re not going to name one, eh?
Oh and anyone with a brain knows polls are bullshit. It’s been proven.
Yeah, polls are bullshit unless they contribute to the echo chamber and provide confirmation bias
So not only do you admit you have no answer to my question, you also admit that the poll you showed is either bullshit, or contributed to your echo chamber and served to prove your confirmation bias.
Not very bright man.
What poll did I show?
You can't seem to differentiate me from OP
The only polls liberals think are accurate are the ones that provide them with dopamine hits of confirmation bias
The poll you referred to. Look man, you’re way out of your element here. I asked you right off, what third party option you think had a chance to beat trump, and like a typical socialist, you balked and tried to distract with typical socialist insults.
You’ve been called out man. You lose.
I didn't refer to A poll, all polling shows Biden's numbers suck.
I lost nothing, im not the one breathing a dead horse calling it progressive. Things will continually get worse because liberals have no proverbial balls to do the right thing and end the status quo
Kick some rocks man. This is over.
Ah, being apathetic again @anticolonialist@lemmy.world?
A leftist refusing to vote for the status quo, which is not not progressive, is no more apathetic than a Democrat refusing to vote for a Republican. You have to decide if you want progress or keep things the same, because you can't have both.
