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!

Pot tries calling kettle black but then reveals that they're not even in the same room and the pot is actually a giant turd and the arguments are just fart noises and everything is shit because the pot won't stop touching things with its shit-covered hands. Then it turns out that the kettle actually was black when it really was supposed to be black the whole time, so it's really doing its job, but the pot is still a big heaping pile of putrid shit and acne puss and should stop calling itself a pot just because 40% of Americans are either loathsome or too stupid to be left alone with a box of crayons so they decided to elect their pile of shit-acne-puss to be recognized as a pot.
I'm pretty sure I lost the thread there, but fuck Trump.
It was a glorious journey in the reading.
I don't think it's fair to say 40% of Americans.
He only had ~74M votes in the last election, and he still lost. That equates generously to around 1/4 of all Americans (329M), back then. If the support numbers haven't shifted, that's still significantly under 25% of Americans that are too stupid to be left alone with a box of crayons.
