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

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 he wins I imagine leftist attitudes towards insurrection will quickly change
Leftist attitudes towards fascists will remain the same you loser
Do you think leftists would be okay with an insurrection if it's to replace a "fascist" such as Donald Trump?
You don't need quotes when describing conald traitor trump as the filthy fucking fascist that he most definitely is.
Fuck off you anti-american piece of trash.
🙄
lmao. You must be one of those "Joe Biden is a leftist" idiots if you think leftists inherently have any problem with an insurrection. The problem with the January 6th riot was that it was a bunch of Christofascists trying to install a fascist regime, not that they desecrated our holy institutions or some other liberal claptrap.
Edit: NVM, checked comment history, you are just a dumbass fascist.
I appreciate you being honest. Sort of wanted I wanted to hear.
You must be even dumber than the average bigot if you needed someone to spell that out for you. Leftists not respecting the US government isn't some new phenomenon.
It is kinda funny when leftists larp about how the sanctity of the US government was infringed (as if that's some moral crime) on January 6th when you are admitting they would do the exact same thing. You can find other people in this thread who said its not okay, so while you are speaking for yourself, there are definitely people who think that way.
The fuck are you talking about? I explicitly said its nonsense that the idea that the sanctity of the us government being infringed was the problem. People defending the institutions of the largest capitalist empire in history by definition are not leftists.
No, not the sanctity of the US government. The sanctity of democracy. You want a dictatorship. I want democracy. You and a couple thousand people trying to force your ideas on millions of Americans is morally bankrupt
If he legitimately wins, the country is not worth saving, in my leftist opinion. I hope my beloved country isn't lost enough to let that happen. I'm going to focus on making sure he loses. Then we'll just have to deal with his next coup attempt.
do you think it is proper for the left to attempt a coup of their own if he wins?
No. I do not. I think finding a new country to call home is then appropriate.
What are you snorting, and can you keep it far away from me?
Do you think people would let trump peacefully make his way into power?
They already did once you fucking fascist goofball.
I don't know how people can say shit like this after living through 2017-2021.
You fascist losers are the "let's break the peaceful transfer of power" bunch. You didn't let Joe status quo fucking Biden into power without deploying the gravy seals first.
I didn't do anything.
That's right you're just the cowardly cheering squad like your dear leader.
