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.

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!

Agreed. It's 100% the voters (or absent voters) fault. They knew what they would get if Trump won(generations of damage) and they let it happen. Harris should have been voted in to triage the situation, then protest her while she is in office to bring change.
The problem is, that this is what basically happened for as long as I can remember. People vote for a democrat, they don't really succeed in bringing substential improvements because they have to keep the billionaires happy, and at some point people vote republican again, which then proceed to fuck up everything even harder.
It's a downward spiral, and in my opinion the only way of breaking out of it is to break it. So either the democrats choose somebody that is likely to improve the quality of life for the broad population, or the republicans win again and break the country completely.
Enabling this spiral by voting for the "lesser evil" will just lead to it going on forever.
The protesting left is willing to let the poor and the minorities suffer damage that will take a lifetime to reverse because they are too fucking lazy to vote in change and hold their reps accountable(by voting in replacements...not sitting on thumbs). Fuck the left protest vote. Complicit fuckers.
What you're implying is, that because the left has the choice between
And chooses the option where improvement can happen instead of feeding into the vicious cycle of the lesser evil, it's the left that is to fault for fascists coming into power? You're delusional.
There's a reason why center parties are called the stepping-stone of fascism. You'd really do yourself a big favor by reflecting your views.
Why wait 4 years? This is your mind set and is why you are ok with Harris not being elected. Reps can be held accountable all the time, not just every 4 years.
Because usually presidents in the USA are elected every 4 years?
But yeah, hold him accountable! As non-american I am just watching y'all anyways.
so now we got the worst abuser. Thanks guy. I am sure you can still pat yourself on the back for.... wait what was the advantage to letting trump win?
better then saying ' I don't give a fuck about Ukraine, healthcare and not sending people to concentration camps."
So what exactly are you doing to help?
How elon esc of you.
you literally when on about being better then the average person. That is tech bro shit right there.
