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!

Screw this idiot pearl clutcher who didn’t vote strategically.
Doing more harm than good.
That's not what happened.
Hong was a leading voice in the "uninstructed" vote in the primary, not the general. It was purely sending a message.
Apparently few people ever bother to read the article before firing off their uniformed opinion. This was during the primary. If Biden or the party had listened to this protest vote, we might not be in the disaster we're in right now. What it did do was reveal how soft his support was among certain groups of voters, particularly progressives.
This is Amerika in 2024. You aren't allowed to do anything with your speech other than what the party establishment allows.
Yeah it's not strategic voting if the strategy when gamed out results in an L
I still can't get mad over someone voting with their morals. The only difference between a Harris and Trump vote was white Americans being treated how anyone who wasn't a WASP inside and outside the country has been treated by America for 60+ years. Especially since she's a memebr of the smallest voting block in the country. Her protezt vote was basically meaningless.
You can try and blame those who didn't vote strategically but the blame lies on the more than 50% of the largest voting demographic(white ppl) voting for a racist/rapist.
Ask yourself why white America would rather vote for a bigot instead of blaming her
Uhhh we do blame them. We also blame her because she knew and understood that he was rapist/racist and decided to support him anyway.
Oh, you're delusional. My bad.
What a load.
Libs mad cause you're correct.
