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!

This fatalism is so fucking pathetic.
Did the left start winning and forget that we have always had to struggle and fight for every scrap of humanity the oligarchy and the political class try to hoard?
What the fuck?
Stop crying.
My dude, we can hold both the idea of “we’re so fucked” and “we’re going to fight like hell” in our brain. Fuck off with your patronizing bullshit.
I'm sorry, my dude. I am just so tired of seeing this all - the - fucking - time.
I am not trying to be patronizing. My bad. I want us all motivated to do good shit, rather than just feel like we are fucked. 🤷♂️
We can win.
Hell yeah man, it’s all good, I’m sorry for coming in hot there. It’s going to suck but I’m with you and believe we’ve got this in the long run. Going to be a shitty four years (again) though
It's a great time to be organizing to build the future, solidarity gets stronger in shitty times. More people than ever have realized that the democrats are, and always have been center right, that is what liberal means everywhere else in the world, they are not the key, they are not us and now is our time!
Oh, I'm motivated all right, but good isn't a description I'd give any of it. Next year is gonna be messy.
See you at the police blockades. Bring gloves for the teargas canisters.
Bruh, a literal fascist who wants to be a dictator day one and wants lifetime control over the country was just elected by more people than the alternative.
Fuck you.
Our two party first past the post voting system and its long and fraught history lead to some minority percentage of the US population getting their dude into power. Over a guy in his 80s apparently blind to genocide who passed the torch to a former prosecutor with a "tough on crime" persona who spent a lot of time hobnobbing with celebs and saying everything was going fine, including the genocide. That is true.
I think you and your ilk are going to come to the conclusion soon that the gamble y'all played this past election is going to blow up in your faces.
we won't be your pawns to sacrifice.
Who the fuck do you think I voted for?
I don't know but judging by your disdain for Harris I would guess you didn't vote at all. that's at least what 20 million Americans did in November.
You'd be wrong. Jesus, I am fucking tired of this.
edit: fuck you and your "ilk" comment. that kind of othering is exactly THE FUCKING PROBLEM.
Oh yeah, the Genocide. I forgot about Trump's incredibly pro Palestine stance on things.
Also, news flash, who fucking cares. It sucks people are dying, but that entire area has basically been at war endlessly since the dawn of time because every fucking religeon wants to be the only one in control of the "Holy Land."
They pretend its something else, but at the end of the day, its just more endless killing in the name of some Sky Daddy bull shit.
Fuck off
Hobnobbing with celebs, pretending to be tougher than they are, and lying about their own success. Three things Donald Trump has never done.
I want to not be fatalist and doomer. And if this were 2016, I would agree. But we had 8 years of everything Trump and his crew of assholes want on full display for 8+ years, and people STILL picked him.
This is what people want.
And I ran out of fucks back in like 2020.
At this point, I just want to be sure to point and laugh at every Trumper who gets serious ill or loses their Social Sexurity or gets deported etc etc over these policies they chose.
I want to laugh and go "hah hah" in Nelson style, every time.
Fuck off with this abusive conservative dad bullshit.
If you think I am an "abusive conservative" based on what I have said here, I can't help you.
Thank you daddy
