Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

We told you so. I hope y'all chucklefucks enjoy the hell you've brought down on us all, because I have negative sympathy for you.

The good old FAFO and the Gaza Ghetto has the possibility of becoming a resort. Always vote for the lesser of the two evils.

Well, the good news is that the topic likely won’t be an issue anymore in 2028 for disrupting non-GOP candidates

Love seeing all the pissed off abstainers get angry that they're not being thanked.

It didn't work in 2016. It didn't work in 2024. Maybe next time? Oh wait....

Love to see the pearl clutching idiots ingesting the propaganda and teaching themselves to hate their neighbors over a strawman.

If you actually payed attention and looked at data, you would know that protest votes didn't impact the election in any meaningful way

But I understand. It's really easy to get poor people to hate each other as a control mechanism.

Trump won the national popular vote by 1%

There was a 2% reduction in voter participation from 2020 to 2024.

So, yeah. Idiots staying home because there wasn’t a perfect candidate did impact the election in a significant way.

You staying home was a vote for Trump, and a whole lot of people are going to pay for your shitty behavior.

Sorry.

All out of sympathy.

Maybe if their trash decisions, after numerous warnings and pleas for common sense, didn't lead to putting my own country in extreme jeopardy, I'd find the will to give a shit about their problems.

Hope they like the leopards shitting on their faces.

Hope they like the leopards shitting on their faces.

Is that before or after they eat their faces?

Someone told me that it was over now and we should just get over it. I swear to god, I vowed every day that I aruged against these fuckers, non-stop for 5 months, to throw this in their face and make them regret. I'm not going to make myself a liar. My high morals prohibit it.

None of it will mean shit when it's 3 years down the road and I'm pleading, "do not make this fucking mistake again." And they do it anyway. No, I want to shame them away from politics. I want to shame them to being active trump supporters. If there is no lessons learned then I get to enact revenge.

Start recalling Republican Congress reps/sens if you really do regret it.
