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!

Except voting days are during the work week and the majority of the voting population can't afford to miss work to "bloody well queue up". Restricting mail in voting is voter suppression in this country.
Why the fuck do you care if someone stood in line to vote anyways?
Dont forget gerrymandering as well, where they put the ballot 50 miles away from your location, so that is convenient for republicans, but almost unaccessible for Democrats
honestly I don't really care what you do I don't live in America but where I do live voting only takes place on a Sunday and the Saturday preceeding it's illegal to sell alcohol. all employees are guaranteed time off if required to be able to vote. technically it's illegal to not vote although that is not enforced. and in my country all of the parties and politicians are still assholes serving only themselves. yes we are much more alike than you previously thought
If you don't live here, why would you comment about how we vote? Voicing your opinion on a topic that you "don't really care" about is meaningless at best and harmful at worst. If we were anything alike you'd recognize that, and you'd be advocating for more access and methods for voting, not less.
Because America has stuck its fingers in the business of every other country.
How you Americans vote impacts the rest of the world.
And in the case of your current federal government, we are being impacted especially negatively. (As are you guys, but shooting yourselves in the foot is less of a concern to me than the fact that the stray bullets are flying past my head)
Sure but when I comment about Canadian politics, I do a some preliminary research to understand the baseline facts and context before commenting, something this user clearly did not before making a flippant and asinine remark backed up by nothing.
