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!

Disrespectfully, fuck off. There are A LOT of folks who voted against him. You can be angry at the MAGAts that voted for him, or the imbeciles who didn’t vote, but there are quite a few of us who never supported him and are doing anything we can think of to remove him.
You know what? I'd like to say the same thing to him, but I can't. You know why?
Because I said the same things that he's saying about all the Russians who failed to depose Putin. I didn't care if they never supported him; I only cared that they failed to act against him.
Just like you and I are failing to do right now.
We deserve this.
I get where you’re coming from. I can’t say I ever blamed the oppressed for their oppression, but at the same time I’m sure I’ve thought “why don’t they do more”? And now I, and it sounds like you, know. Right now, despite screaming to high heaven about this, I don’t know WHAT to do. All I know is that I don’t want to be the first, because I have ZERO faith anyone else in the country will back me up vs just shrugging it off. And like most Americans who can see what’s happening, I have a lot to lose.
Likewise!
There's an intimidating, but relevant article somebody posted on here the other day about that: It's Safer in the Front
The election was almost five months ago. Move on. What are you doing now?
