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!

I haven't seen that energy.
I hear rational thought on the civil rights side and zealotry at the expense of others on the conservative side.
I don't understand the indecision of your stated position.
If you're a centrust, how could you possibly choose the conservatives over the equal liberty party?
I don't understand how anyone on the fence could even consider voting red at this point in time. Republicans have absolutely no policy goals in mind other than "we got to secure our border" and "we need to drill more". Both of which they have already proven by their actions to be just talking points. Everything else that I've seen the Republicans try to push is based on hate and control of the people.
So help me out here, what is it about the right side of things that you might think would be better than the left that's keeping you on the fence?
You're assuming Trump could win. He won't. He had his chance. He could have had a second consecutive term, and he didn't. Why? Because of the "low energy" votes.
People were motivated against him. People have short memories and he very much could win again.
He could win again, but it absolutely can be prevented if we act.
Reversing the harm he's caused, and his predecessors who laid the groundwork for his presidency caused.. I'm hopeful we can do, but it won't be easy.
