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!

I don't want it and I didn't vote for it. There millions like me.
Millions of cowards who refuse to fight back
Got an internet warrior over here. There are activists doing things all over the country. Unless you think citizens can take on the US military, in which case you're dumber than your post makes you look.
I mean we could grab our legislators out of our states and force them to resign peacefully of course
Many of us have legislators that are doing something to try to keep fascism/racism/classsism at bay
If you think your OWN military is a direct threat to you and you AREN’T taking action, I’m not sure what to tell you.
Lol. Yea, okay. Go back to bed grandma.
Wrong
More Americans voted for Trump than any other candidate.
So we generalize everyone as having voted him in power?
No one is saying that there aren't dissenters, but when the vast majority of Americans are either supporting or indifferent to what's happening, it's really hard to say "Americans" don't want it. A minority, regardless of how vocal, is still a minority.
Not sure if you mean in that particular race or ever.
In that particular race, there was a 0.9% margin.
Ever, Biden actually holds the lead with the most total votes.
At least, according to the stats listed here: https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-States-Presidential-Election-Results-1788863
Of course I meant in that particular race. Trump received the most votes of the candidates in the 2024 presidential, general election.
More not like you though. And "your" side is pathetic they never do anything when in power and don't complain like the right does when they are not.
So you don't understand how FPtP works and it's implications. That's clear at least.
