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!

Minor quibble, but Trump won ~75 million votes by current count. Out of our population of 330 million people (including ineligible voters) that is 22.7%.
So no, most Americans did not vote for him.
...even less Americans could be arsed to vote for a sane person. You can't blame the backwards electoral vote system this time.
Staying home when you know a rapist has a chance is still making a choice.
Eeeh, technically. But by the same metric most Americans haven't voted for a president... maybe ever?
America chose Trump. It's fucking awful but we're not going to move forward unless we recognize that problem and work to overcome it.
And yes, the next four years will absolutely fucking suck. There will be extremely shitty things happening in the next four years regardless of what we do now.
I get where you're coming from but I think semantics matter. American voters chose trump. I think we should avoid the international image that trump truly is this popular with our citizens. It's already embarrassingly bad if we precisely describe it, no need to make us look even more unsalvageable (as a people) than we actually are.
The American people chose him.
Gen Alpha gets a pass, sure... but for the rest of yall, as Rush famously said,
K, my point is invalid then
Correct.
I'm so relieved that only 1 in 5 people in the country is pro-rape.
