I will vote for a candidate that has a platform I can support and nothing else.

And in doing so you’ll waste your vote, allowing the worst possible option (Trump) to get voted in.

The dems continue to get elected because of the Two party system. They aren’t going to change it.

Establishment democrats won’t let it happen, but they can’t do shit if they don’t get elected, and actually good candidates get elected instead.

Which means all levels of government are involved. And this issue needs to be fought in the primaries as well.

You vote blue you will still have red on your hands.

There will be red on everyone’s hands no matter what. No matter who we choose, our tax dollars are going to genocide.

The least we can do, the bare fucking minimum is to reduce the amount of red.

You’ll have just as much red on your hands as I do. But the difference is that you’re willing to let it be more red.

And people tell me I’m pessimistic.

Our tax dollars are going to genocide because of the tacid support our politicians get from people like you.

You are the problem, you are the person who refuses to do anything different.

This situation didn’t start in 2016, it has been made by decades of people making the same choice you insist everyone make.

Vote blue or else!

So we should vote for the democrats that aren’t establishment democrats, the ones that will actually fix the situation.

No, it’s because of the two party system.

You are the problem, you are the person who refuses to do anything different.

I am saying we need to do something different. Have you not been paying attention?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
