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!

You think Joe Biden won the 2020 general election without the help of leftists and progressives?
yes, even a so-called third party has a remote chance.
what is Jill Stein polling right now? or Cornel West?
none of this has any bearing on whether so-called third party candidates have a remote chance.

looks to me like they have a remote chance. like 1 to 50,000
ROFL! Thanks for proving my point!
i thought you said they don't have a remote chance.
i wasn't duped at all. you said they didn't have a remote chance (or implied it by way of a rhetorical question), and i disproved that.
anyone can see exactly what happened here.
you're characterization of my response as petty or semantic is really a "you" problem. i said what i wanted to say, and i was right the whole time.
If that’s what makes you fell better about things.
no, i'm going to use it.
it will be counted just like every other vote.
democracy means people get to choose how they vote.
voting for fascists won't keep your freedom safe
biden literally wrote the 1994 crimebill and the usa patriot act. he is no friend of freedom
He's not wrong. In response to the first attack on the World Trade Center, Biden assisted in creating the bill that would be dusted off and implemented following 9/11 as the Patriot Act.
Biden not only owns his involvement, he has been proud of it.

If you take the Patriot Act as being anti-freedom, as many people do, then yeah, I could see saying Biden is no friend of freedom.
It's an overly simplistic read, but it's not way off base. ;)
