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!

A new poll found more Americans are unhappy with Donald Trump's stances on the economy and cost of living, with almost twice as many saying the president has helped raise prices rather than lowering them.

In a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted Nov. 21-24, 49% of respondents said Trump's actions since taking office for his second term in January have raised prices instead of cutting them. That's a nearly two-to-one ratio to the 24% who said he's done more to lower costs.

The survey also found more Americans (38%) blame Trump for inflation than his predecessor, former President Joe Biden (31%), despite the now-president campaigning on the economy during his successful 2024 presidential bid.

It doesn't matter what Americans say anymore. Trump can't run again. If he manages to hold on to power past Jan 2029, he won't need popular opinion (or votes) to do it.

Trump can’t run again.

Really?

in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote.

-Trump on July 27, 2024

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

And more recently, even he's admitted he can't.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Exactly, if Trump is still President past Jan 2029, he won't need an election to do it. We won't have to vote!

Say what you will about Trump, but he delivers on his campaign promises. Albeit with a monkeys paw.

Of course, his supporters thought he was exaggerating or talking hyperbolically. They believed him when he claimed to never know about Project 2025. And maybe he really didn't, who knows. Its pretty clear he doesn't know wtf he's doing or even where he even is most days. He talks out of his ass constantly. But they find that endearing, I guess.

Its funny, the same people worried about a shadow government, rounding up citizens for FEMA death camps, poisoning our water supply, etc...elected us a guy who did and does all those things. Proudly, even.

Personally I think a political leader, while they should be likeable (I mean, that should be a bare requirement to even get anywhere in politics in the first place), they should also be composed, professional, respectful, and even if they disagree with you, do so receptively and constructively. He is none of these things, and they think that makes him great. Really it just makes him a baffoon and makes the entire country a laughing stock.

Now that the Right Wing Authoritarians (RWAs) got a taste of the China White that is the likes of Taco, they aren't going back to the methadone like RMoney or Jeb! or Lil Marco, that's for sure.

They got a taste when McCain's people picked Palin. That was just a prelude of the stupidity, incompetence, and pure nastiness that was to come.

They'll be looking around for someone else they feel has Fuck You Money and also Says What I Think (meaning, they say racist and misogynist things). Along with some cover story about how they are Good At Bidness (TM), because they always go for some of the very stupidest ideas, and one of the very most idiotic of ideas that so many Americans cling to no matter how ridiculous is that The Country Should Be Run Like a Business. Because, something something, argle bargle, "efficiency". 🤦‍♂️

He'll need to be dead. That should be the ONLY acceptable result for anyone in a third term.

They wanna talk about third term abortions? Let's show em.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

He’ll need to be dead.

This quote has me worried for what comes next. And has since the election.

Although I remember hearing it closer to October when they had the debates.

It’s the quote that substantiates every American training with a long gun.
