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

I voted for the slob 3 times. He officially crossed the line this time. About 40 times. Fuck this guy, man. So much for "no more wars"... and quite literally every single other thing he promised. I'm used to that with presidents, but dang, man. He REALLY fumbled every ball, and he's having them launched at him.
Fuck you for being a part of this shitty problem
Don't breed.
How were you this stupid? Have you only recently learned to read?
Well, I think it's normally worth welcoming someone who has changed their view, not calling them stupid.
Why has he changed his view? Is it because he doesn't like the policy or character of the man, or is it because fuel prices went up?
And he's also making ridiculous assumptions. The fact I already stated one reason why my opinion changed and he didn't even read it is telling. You're a dick, dude. How is your personality any better than Trump's? Lmao
They're downvoting you now, too. See, this is the problem. You just can't win with 'em.
Because I wanted serious change. And to a point, I got it. Unfortunately, we became Israel's warmongering lapdog and either got promises 25% fulfilled, or forgotten about entirely. Why are you insulting me?
Trump's political platform being that of a racist, rapist, homophobic uncle from the 1950s was fine, though
I just don't understand how any person could vote for him more than once. It wasn't a secret that he is totally incompetent, spiteful and extremely stupid after just a couple days of him being in charge the first time. His first term was a clown show where he continuously fired his staff. If you somehow think he's going too far only now, then frankly it says a lot about you and your lack of sense, empathy and political literacy.
His values have constantly shown that he is sexist, racist, greedy, slovenly and generally hateful. If you have voted for him three times, frankly, you probably are those things as well.
Because I am not a Democrat, nor a leftist in any way. I do not stand for their ridiculous shit the same way I do not stand for what Trump is now doing. Believe it or not, people can have different views from you. The fact you don't understand that says a lot more about your intelligence than my own. Relax, bud.
Genuinely curious what the ridiculous shit is in your eyes. I generally see most people want the same end goals (better lives for all/most) and the nuances are just in the execution.
Pretty much everything now. I am NOT a fan of Israel, first off. Not to mention he didn't follow through with any of the things he started. I personally do not like this country being absolutely flooded with illegal immigrants and all of our jobs being swooped up by underpaid H1Bs, etc. My area with the largest industrial park in the whole country is a total nightmare now. I don't really care if you feel a moral obligation to think the opposite, so don't bother. I will be avoiding this sub now. It's just as violently retarded as Reddit's r/politics. Got it blocked now. See ya!
And it is this sentiment that will keep you voting for shysters and con-men and voting against your own best interest.
The shit he started was stupid, racist, and generally abhorrent
That says a lot about you
Fuck your feelings. You remember that? You've thrown in with a cult that has been singly focused on being as destructive and as obnoxious as humanly possible for over a decade, and now you're getting your feelings hurt? Did you actually believe that Donald "losers and suckers, I prefer people who didnt get captured" Trump was anti-war? Then you are, or at least were, a moron.
I'm sure glad I'm not rabid and angry like you guys are. Jesus Christ. Maybe this site was a mistake.
Did you expect a cookie? I mean good job, you finally realized you made a mistake three times in a row after it's too late to do anything about it.
I have good money that says that if he bothers to vote again, it'll be for a Republican cunt.
The mistake was that every Trump voter didn't dribble down their mother's thigh
