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!

Hey, I'd like to introduce you to shades of gray. I live in California. I in fact, can protest vote. Because guess what? We still majorily vote blue no matter fucking what. So what now? How am I complicit when my state voted for Kamala?
This is such a tired bullshit argument. You just want someone to be angry at. You're no different than a MAGA with your lack of logic.
You spread the message around the time of the election, you're complicit in getting others to opt out of voting. One of your votes is meaningless. All of your votes could've turned the tide.
Not deciding is a choice.
Don't worry, you'll still have to live with the consequences. Congrats!
Again, how exactly did my vote in California, that in the end voted for Kamala, help trump AT ALL.
It didn't and you're just full of shit. Literally all that would happen, if let's say I voted 10000 times illegally, is that Kamala would have still lost. I could have convinced all of California to vote blue and... checks notes Kamala still would have lost, but the popular vote would have been even more depressing.
You just want to be mad at someone instead of any sort of self reflection. You're a leftist MAGA.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
...And the choice you make is to opt out. "Opt out" is one of the choices.
Dude was quoting a Rush song buddy.... As much as I hate memes in a serious convo, that's what that was.
In response to a Big Lebowsky quote. Meming doesn't relinquish meaning.
