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!

Or they were within that 1.8%, which to an election campaign expecting just thousands to decide the vote, seems like both.
Right. The party is run by fools so enamored with genocide that they would rather have trump than abandon it, then.
Not like the centrist wing has ever stood for anything else.
I'm blaming the subjects of this article right now, the Uncommitted, pro-Trump, anti-Dem voters. That's where I'm laying blame right now, and laughing that none of this went the way they thought and they should have known better.
Then the party should have courted them. They chose not to.
Nah, I don't believe so, and certainly not in the tone they were carrying on with.
They fucked themselves over so fucking hard with that bullshit, and now here we are. Just funny to hear them crying about it. They built their own house of cards and are dealing with the consequences of it now, but potentially involved the rest of the US, so fuck em.
Yes, the suffering of Muslims was funny to you before the election, too.
I find the irony of anyone who was looking at the two viable candidates and not doing everything they can to prevent Trump getting into office darkly humorous when they're standing around complaining about it. As right-winger say, this is the "find out" phase.
Congratulations on showing grieving families who's boss, then.
Do you suppose your cruelty will cause them to come back?
I'm not saying anything to grieving families, and I feel for the destruction of Palestine, but the fact still remains that there was a large and concerted effort to NOT ensure Trump lost the election by some of those people, so now that's on them if they were part of that. This is what they threatened to do, and now it's happening.
Every last cruel word.
Schadenfreude is a feeling, yes.
