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!

This queer isn't voting for the genocidal POS. He betrayed us with the bullshit Respect for Marriage Act. Among other issues. He, nor his party are allies to the LGBTQ+ or any other marginalized community.
So....you're giving a free vote to the administration that is actively going out of its way to hurt the LGBTQ as much as it possibly can? You do you then, I guess?
Then Biden better get started on earning my vote. But we both know he won't. He's a POS like his Republican counterpart that doesn't care about any marginalized groups.
And quit using my community as human shields to defend shitty politics.
Nah, I don't think I will, because it makes no sense to me that you'd actively let the administration that has done everything it can to hurt you get a free vote. Just seems extreme, but again, you do you. Also, I'm stating hard facts, not "using" your community as a shield.
Those are not facts. What has Biden done to help lift the lgbtq community out of poverty out of homelessness out of food insecurity? Not a goddamn thing. While Republicans have passed 300 anti-lgbtq bills in the last few years, Democrats have offered nothing to counteract those laws on the federal level. We don't need the endless and meaningless symbolic victories. We need economic ones and Biden is failing
I mean, they are facts. Democrats aren't perfect either. We all know this, but it makes no sense that you'd choose to give the party that has passed 300 anti LGBTQ bills an easy win over a party that at least isn't passing 300 anti LGBTQ bills. You do you, man. Have a good day!
Who said anything about the red fascists getting my vote?
Read up on the problems with fptp voting system and maybe you'll understand that not voting for democrats is actively helping republicans.
If there was any party that had a chance of beating republicans and promised to replace fptp then that would be the party to vote for, unfortunately no such party exists.
The Democrats should start voting 3rd party to help create that reality, otherwise they are complicit in what they allow their party to do. This is why politics keep getting worse, Democrats do something like genocide but give people like Biden a pass because Republicans might do the same thing. Rewarding them with power time and again regardless what they do allowing things to get worse.
Lmao republicans "might" do the same thing... You're a moron.
no, it's not. only a vote for republicans helps republicans.
No.
i have provided exactly as much evidence as you.
