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!

waiting until the usual lemmy suspects show up to be like "iM vOtInG tHiRd PaRtY tHeY aReNt SpOiLeR cAnDiDaTes" my guy the republicans have literally said out loud that they are supporting these spoiler candidates as spoilers, if you're voting for them, you are voting for trump.
The "socialist" and "Green party" posters who somehow are shocked, shocked you would call them pro-Trump astroturf accounts, when every action they take coincidentally has the effect of helping Trump.
The real giveaway is their refusal to equally assess left and right-wing threats. When it comes to voting for a democrat, any imperfection is an absolute justification for voting third party. When someone points out Trump will get into office because of it and what that means to Gaza, green policies, etc, they gish gallop and strawman until the conversation is fully derailed.
It's even more hilarious when I checked the profile of one of those high-volume "green party" posters and found them copy-pasting a bunch of overtly racist articles in the conservative comm. Almost like they forgot to switch alt accounts or something.
And have you ever noticed how it's always one side denying who they're promoting. I mean, how often do you see someone secretly propping up a Democratic candidate and deny it when called out on it? It's almost as if they're embarrassed to admit they like trump.
yeah, it's very suspicious indeeed...
