When there is nothing at stake for you you have the luxury of voting third party. That is essentially a vote for Trump. We know you know this because it’s been explained to you in every post. Must be nice having all that privilege.

The rest of us, in the meantime have to live with the consequences of your decision. As parents, as students saddled with debt, as members of every minority community under attack, as children whose school lunches are being taken away, as children of DACA: a very hearty fuck you from the bottom of our hearts.

Must be nice having all that privilege.

I grew up in poverty, I’m biracial, bisexual, poor, uneducated, and my job in public elementary school pays shit–a school by the way, where I deal directly with kids who’s school lunches (and breakfasts!) are an issue.

Oh yeah, plus I’m fucking old and face age-discrimination every day.

Yeah, friend, all this privilege is awesome! Funny tho, I thought privilege would be way more awesome. :/

There are only two options based on this statement and calling them out will violate community rules.

Sorry, I know it and everyone else on this platform knows you’re making this up.

If you did vote third party in this election you actively voted for the party that is legislating (and has already succeeded in some states) to remove school lunches. We know you know this.

Now fuck right off with your lies.

I’m biracial.

Your profile says “transracial”. Did you forget you were on a trolling account?

I didn’t put biracial in my profile, BECAUSE I put transracial there. Do you honestly think I’d forget if I were biracial?! Think about that a sec…

And I’m not a troll. Thank you! :)

Might be true but very “as a black man” vibes. Especially with your post history being pro Trump (who hates bis, non whites, poor people etc).

Guess this will get moderated soon because you only know hate and violence.

I’m not pro-Trump and I’ve already voted. And I didn’t vote for him. Thank you! :)

They’re just mad that your religion allows you the ability to hate and love Christ at once. Keep fighting democracy, brother!!

Did you just list 70% of the issues the Harris campaign wants to get sorted as your own issues, and you still don’t think there’s anything in it for you if they win?

Gotta be a troll. I can’t believe anyone acting against their own interests in such a stark way.

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!
