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!

Mostly peaceful protest at the capital.
Just a straight-up insane lie. "Peaceful" breaking windows, smearing shit on walls, threatening to hang the VP? "Peaceful" beatings of police officers?
You don't believe that. You don't. It's not even debatable. It's so jaw-droppingly stupid, the idea that anyone who can work a keyboard would actually believe that is laughable.
So, two options: You're throwing everything at the wall to see if anything sticks, exactly the accusation you hurled earlier... Or you're a troll.
Except for breaching police barricades, breaking windows, breaking doors, beating police officers with any and all available objects. Getting people killed.
But that's just on the goon squad side, on the admin side they conspired criminally to submit fraudulent electors and attempted to push Pence beyond his Constitutionally defined role to tabulate the electors for the 2020 election.
That's, in large part, what the indictments in D.C. and Georgia are all about.
There is no Democratic equivalent here. Gore conceded. Clinton conceded.
Now, Gore probably should not have. A full recount of Florida showed that no matter how you counted the ballots, Gore actually won. But that was not discovered until after Bush was already installed.

Clinton has other issues, refusing to acknowledge her own role in her own loss. Going to the heart of coal country and talking about how she wanted to put a bunch of people out of work absolutely killed her in PA. She has never acknowledged that. Same for utterly failing to campaign in states she took for granted like Wisconsin and Michigan.
But the key difference here is that I'm free to admit where Democratic candidates fucked up and demand they do better. You will never see that on the Republican side.
You're an enemy of the United States and of We The Majority
You are delusional
