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!

That’s okay, no one with any brains is voting for yours. Since you switched from Stein, your candidate won’t even crack .05%. So while half the country may vote against my candidate, at least 99.95% aren’t voting for yours.
Well then you have no reason to get mad or worry about anything, right? I mean, our numbers are so pitiful, you have no reason to be upset. :)
I mean, other than the fact that you’re obviously so privileged — as you’ve said so often — to not be afraid of Trump winning. And then so oblivious, callous, and dismissive of other people who are justifiably worried that you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to persuade folks that voting third party in the presidential race is a justifiable idea.
And unfortunately third party wankers do have both a chance at helping Trump win AND having no chance to win themselves. Or did you already forget the fine print in the Quinnipac poll you yourself posted this morning? So there is a great moral peril and a frivolous display, and actual adults should have no trouble telling one from the other.
What do you mean by privileged? I'm not in the demographic that you tried to portray as privileged.
You do realize that people of all colors vote for Trump, right? Do you think that ONLY white middle class people vote for Trump?! lol
I can spend as much time as I want to and do whatever want. Besides, you were just mocking how "pitiful" the numbers of third parties were. And now you are saying that you're worried about how much time I spend on here talking about third parties?! hahahahah Which is it?
You seem really afraid of voters having choice. I'm not afraid of that at all. I'm proudly voting third party.
And I'll keep posting what I want, where I want, when I want. No matter how much you don't like it. Thank you! :)
I never said you were in that demographic. Try reading what I wrote again, but slower.
As for Trump supporters, maybe you’re too naive to know this already but we know exactly what demographics they’re most likely in:
And again, people of all colors vote for Trump. Do you think that ONLY white middle class people vote for Trump?! lol
And you did compare me to them. And you were implying that that demographic was shameful. And I'm not even in that demographic. But what you implied...Ewwwww...
Try reading what I wrote again, but slower.
Quite clearly I don’t as I just posted the actual information as to who is voting for him.
And no, I said “Absolutely screams only the kind of privilege you see in middle class, white, cis, hetero males.” So if that’s your demographic or not, the kind of privilege you give constant voice to is an often associated with that demographic. Or are you once again denying that demographic has historically “othered” everything else? Bold play, if so my friend.
Are you saying that only middle class, white, cis, hetero males are privileged. Why even bring color and sexuality in it?! Um, I see what you are doing and it's gross, friend.
I quite clearly did not say anything close to that as you know. Falling back on more trolling? Now I’m disappointed, bud.
I disagree. And I don't know why you even brought sexuality and color into the conversation. Tells me your true motivations. Ewwww.
As all you can do tonight is whatever weird trolling thing you’re doing, I’m afraid I must go for now.
Hope you bring your A game when I come back later. I know you can do better!
It's against community rules to falsely accuse someone of trolling. Please try to be civil. You may disagree with me and my opinions, but that doesn't mean I'm trolling. Thank you!
