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!

MODERATORS
Same situation in the future. Unless there are norms put into place by law, apparently they will not be followed. Dems have been trying to do so, and consistently shut down by the far-right influence. If the polls are correct, then maybe Dems sweep this election and can actually do something about the future.
If anything, the US is moving towards a need for more representation in their groups, so maybe that makes other parties more viable for the future.
life is like a hotdog
you could eat it as it comes plain and dry
or you could eat a hot dog that is full of toppings and substance
we don't have to choose between two plain hotdogs if we do not want to and that is what the US citizens have chosen to do every election since forever
plain dry propaganda hotdog is not all there is even if the Democrats and Republicans keep telling us otherwise
When one hot dog is poisoned and there is a gun to your head, I'd say you do have to make a choice.
then that is not democracy but fascism both ways
No. I think your understanding of what fascism is may be misunderstood or completely off. I'd love to hear in what ways you think this is fascism though. Perhaps you mean favoritism.
