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!

Nothing worse than fraudulent concern
The worst thing is someone who is so cynical and unhappy that they can't tell genuine belief and genuine concern from some evil ploy on behalf of their enemies.
If you don't believe anything I say I guess there really is no point in this discussion. In any case, look after yourself.
As I said, I'm not American or in America and I still get it. Last time the day Trump got elected and this time so far I have gotten no work done because it's just so fucking miserable
I wonder how I got so cynical and unhappy. Definitely not the fault of voters or the people who beat them into a submissive "it's all pointless" mentality. Thanks for that btw, you seem really concerned for my mental health
I don't believe that and never did that. All I did is criticise Biden for supporting the genocide and Harris for saying she'd do the same. If you don't understand why someone might do that despite wanting the democrats to win the election, you really might be too far gone.
I actually would like to apologize. I do remember you saying a lot of things I thought were bad to say but I should be better than this. Our country was destroyed today and we need to all be better in spite of it
No worries dude. Sorry if I upset you!
In the future, when you finish your script or just look through my profile, you'll see we're on the same side.
I know you knew what you were doing. Stop replying.
