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!

We already knew the US is fucked beyond repair. You don't have to rub it in.
I think this result shows hope in that most people appear to have turned against the technocratic neoliberalism and want policies that could actually unfuck things.
That'd be nice, but until I see people in the streets I'm not ready to believe it.
We had potentially the fifth largest protest in American history on April 5th, if you're not seeing it it's because you're not there (and the @#$&ing media is complicit)

Yeah. I wish I could claim to be surprised about the lack of coverage, but... While I would still prefer Americans to be a little more, ah, French about how they protest, I'm still glad to hear people are hitting the streets as they bloody well should.
Potentially fifth largest is pretty mediocre. This situation demands seeing the records for largest American protest unarguably smashed on a repetitive basis.
No they just want people to tell them that they’ll unfuck things it doesn’t have to be based in reality.
Also no one knows what technocratic neoliberalism means.
If you know what technocrat and neoliberalism mean you do
So, like, Lemmy and the oligarchs
