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!

DNC didn't even investigate the 2024 fraud because the optics would have been bad after 2020. Just the threat of escalation is already doing extra voter intimidation, people will refuse to register to vote before even getting to the polls because they're scared.
And it's not like most of the left can keep from purity testing for their special interest tribe long enough to agree on anything.
Not like they need to wait until you're in line at the polls to find yourself on a 3 day hold (maximum legal detainment without filing charges)
I might be sliding into nihilism. Nothing we post here matters.
Guess what, you personally can take action. One option is [ Removed by Reddit ] but that's not something I could recommend. Join mutual aid groups, learn farming, build your own local community, stock up on supplies, firearms, ammo, etc., and join the many many community groups that push their local politicians towards actual action.
The one thing I admire about MAGA is how unhinged they are and how willing they are to push their politicians with serious threats of action and really making their voice known. Liberals are pussies in that sense, and/or straight up complicit with the ruling class, and that's why America is where it is. The actual citizens of America are slowly learning how to actually push, but they haven't had to in their lifetime. Other countries put Americans to shame in pushing political change.
Look at what the Romain people did to protest Ceausescu's dictatorship. Really neat to learn about the history of People's movements.
Don't listen to me, I'm just a useful idiot getting influenced by propaganda.
All great advice I've heard before, mutual aid would be great but despite my efforts my safety net has shrunk to a tightrope while I overextended my own resources to be a safety net for others (haha, one hilarious story was my mom spending the emergency fund i had her holding for me, my sister had such a hilarious emergency needing a vacation 😂); farming knowledge is only useful with the resources to use them (currently possible, but won't result in a net positive of resources); community is amazing, lost the majority of my last friend group when a hinge friend's husband wanted to sleep with me; my pantry is growing, my mental health doesn't allow firearms, my local communities aren't friendly to my people and my people's communities aren't local.
I am working to improve my own material conditions as well as still trying to find a community that we lift each other up, instead of someone getting torn down.
But also no, I'm so tired of people. I'm so tired of how quick to violence so many people are, how ignorant so many choose to be. How much grace isn't returned, how much gratitude doesn't persist.
Hey, I've been arguing this shit online for well over a decade. The one bright side about all the manipulation and social media bots is that it validated all that effort. Apparently what we post online does matter. And they didn't like that.
yeah, stupid left! Like, they didn't even want to fund ICE to begin with!
Oh, wait . . .
