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!

My head in the sand? I just dont subscribe to the constant perception, on both sides, that the other side is the end of democracy as we know it.
Do I think Trump would like that if he could do it? Absolutely. Do I think that will be the outcome? No, I dont.
The fear mongering ad nauseum is what got us Trump to begin with. Republicans constantly being fed this idea the Democrats are the end of democracy, and if you disagree you're just a RINO, led us down this path. People who parrot the same on the left are just as bad.
If people are convinced their vote doesnt matter, they wont vote and youre feeding that.
But hey Im just being pragmatic about the state of things and whats within my capacity to control. Fuck me, right?
"Both sides" 🤡🤡🤡
Yes, saying "I prefer not to live like the world is crashing down when its entirely out of my control." clearly implies you rather ignore the stuff you know is happening but you feel it's out of your control
Ok, being positive is definitely not a bad thing... but then I need to ask, how do you expect the outcome to be any different?
Hmmm no, the absolute inability for Americans to defend their own rights and even just vote got your trump and continues to allow him to do as he pleases
I am actually pushing the other way... for action not inaction... my original post refers to the constant reply I get from americans saying "we are not there yet" and thus they will do nothing but wait and see
Well, while you are being pragmatic the global economy is in shambles, thousands of people (many many children and women) are being slaughtered and democracy is being eroded, all directly linked to the actions taken by your country.
But who cares about those people, right?! I mean, you seem to be OK for now so that is really all that matters.
You're right, it is all that matters to me. I simply do not care what is happening on the other side of the globe.
I disagree with it, but I certainly am not going to hang my emotions on it. If I worried myself over what 8 billion other people are going through id never get any sleep
Good for you to be honest... but just remember this when something is happening to you and nobody runs to help you
