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!

Hope he drops out early after making some deals with the Biden team to benefit disadvantaged Americans.

If he siphons anywhere near enough to tilt the election to Trump people will hate him until he dies, deservedly.

I still hate Ralph Nader because of the 2000 election. Even though I agree with his push for automobile and consumer product safety.

I’d still tell him he’s a not insignificant part of the reason we’ve got a more fucked up world now.

Yup. People like Nader should put all their energies into RCV and maybe then, and only then, run as third party. Until that happens, just get the hell out of the race. They aren't helping anything.

Abdullah downplayed concerns that her affiliation with Black Lives Matter would potentially hurt West’s campaign, saying that her experience organizing local chapters around the country may be an asset.

Who has these voiceless concerns CNN? I can't imagine anyone who would be considering voting for Cornell West who would be dissuaded due to his VP having a BLM connection. MSM really trying to pretend this is a real campaign trying to win a majority of votes and injecting center-right "concerns" about appealing to moderate Republicans, because for some reason that's how they define political viability.

Useful idiots.

I would love to talk to some of the brainiacs that plan on voting for West or for RFK Jr. At least if they live in a contested area. Just what in the hell do they think they'll accomplish by casting their vote into the trashcan?
