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!

Understandable, but don't you think that's exactly how people thought when Trump was transitioning to Biden? What do you propose that would be different from that, other than being on the other side?
Not like I'm happy that Trump is gonna be in office but the people get what they vote for. It's problematic when that doesn't become the case. Well, might still be before then but it's hard to protect people from themselves.
yeah, if we do that both sides are indistinguishable
cant tell the difference, no sir
just a couple-a old dudes that are entirely the same in every way
I'm not saying the sides aren't different. I'm arguing that the actions being suggested are not. Acting against what people voted for seems pretty bad to me, no matter what.
Yeah, you're right.
Is the moral value of an action defined by the action, or by its effect?
Thats what they want you to think. The truth is there is but one tried and true path. They want you to think it would be no difference than Jan 6ers. But fucken Biden didnt quid pro quo cabinet positions, or try to sic a mob on the VP, or have them smear shit on the walls in the capital. Actions may look the same on the surface but intent is not. Never let them tell you hanging Mussolini was a wrong and terrible act that made them no different than him.
