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!

If Latinos and others Democratic voters who wanted to sit on their fucking hands or vote for Trump, they can go cry to someone else when Homeland Security knocks on their door looking for their undocumented relatives (or any of the legal citizens that get swept up by mistake).
When Trump and Netanyahu turn Gaza into glass, the Michigan voters who thought they wanted to punish Democrats can go to someone else to worry about getting the broom to sweep it up.
Elections have consequences.
We warned you of the consequences. REPEATEDLY! And now you get to live with them until next time
Yup. If you voted for trump, or sat this one out, I hold you personally accountable for the deaths in Gaza and Ukraine if they get steam rolled because of trump. Especially you protesters.
Or voted for a third party candidate. That was just a vote in Trump’s pocket
until next time? these consequences are going to last far far far beyond the next election.
Assuming we have any real elections in the future.
Hahahahah next time...we all know there's no next time
And if only Republicans weren't so fucking gung ho about destroying the country and everyone else in it. But elections have consequences, and the voting population, turns out, the majority are straight up evil. They were also warned of the consequences repeatedly, and decided "that's perfect for me!"
You can be mad at groups that wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome as much as you want. I'm going to be mad at the stupid filth that are busily trying to make life worse for everyone. Every single monster that voted for him deserves to lose everything.
According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics and Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future, this is the definition of liberalism:
In your own words, what do you think "lib" means?
