The deficit is actually down $100 billion since last year, but I guess it’s totally cool to just lie about shit to make yourself seem like the fiscally responsible candidate.

Hillary didn’t and it cost her the election. Any reasonable, well-informed person should have voted against Trump, and she acted as if that applied to most voters.

If voters were well informed, the GOP wouldn’t exist. The two parties would be progressives and liberals. Treating voters as a rational group is, in itself, irrational.

This Lemmy community explores and respects diverse viewpoints. I wouldn’t advocate that the GOP shouldn’t exist. Just as I wouldn’t advocate that the DNC shouldn’t exist.

And I believe 3rd parties are good for a healthy society.

The counterpoint to progressive action is moderation. The GOP do not represent useful ideas to a happy populous. They rely on lies and a skewed perception of reality. I don’t respect a party whose core values are harming others, and I live in a red state so I live through that every day.

I accept and respect various diverse viewpoints on how to best serve the country, including actual libertarian values. I would be more than happy if Joe Manchin was a typical opposing argument to progressive ideals.

In YOUR opinion (and mine!). Almost half of the country disagrees with you though.

I respect people’s right to vote for any one they want to vote for, even if it’s a Republican.

Because what we all need is our food and water to be even more poisonous. To burn to death cuz we couldn’t afford our subscription to firefighters service this month. Or to die of sepsis because of no medical regs at the hospital.

Right-Libertarians aren’t serious people. At least not any more serious than a 14 year old ancap.

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!
