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!

What's going to be infuriating is when the killing starts, so many people will act like this was unavoidable.
Remember being gaslit in 2016?
It was unavoidable, because nobody in a position to do anything about it was willing to avoid it.
We were set on this path in 2015 when the court ruled that the DNC is entirely within its rights to rig the primary. They chose not to run the most popular politician in the country because it was "Her Turn", and in so doing gave the Presidency to Trump.
Everything that has occurred since then could never have happened any other way. The backlash to Trump that put Biden in office despite pulling another fuckery on Bernie, and now the red wave of greivance against a "stolen election" that will give us Trump again.
What's infuriating is that, for the first time in a decade, I can't predict the political future anymore. I'm not even willing to bet we'll have elections in 2028, much less who the winners will be.
Biden was never the candidate who was going to make bold moves and enact the kind of change required to start to fix systemic problems . On his boldest day he could never have conceived anything like the New Deal and if he did it would be too terrified of rocking the boat to move on it. Biden was always just the safest way to beat Trump. And old white guy. The army of pointless op Ed writers wouldn't have any oxygen to write breathless speculative articles about whether the country is ready for a woman/black/___ president. Not breaking any barriers. Safe. That's it. He has done a lot of good work, but he is at his best uninspiring.
Bernie was never going to win. Whatever the hypothetical polls show, whatever fuckery the DNC did, he was never going to win. The same country that elected Trump could never elect Bernie, it's simply not possible. Bernie actually cares about making people's lives better - he's fought for it his whole life. He was with the civil rights movement. He was fighting along side gay rights activists way before it became mainstream. The American electorate as a whole doesn't deserve him, and appropriately - could never elect him.
Trump is the Dems fault... So much for the party of personal responsibility.
