Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And you know what americans voted for? Some samples: Paying billions of their taxes to stop windfarms, to sell national parks, “drill baby drill”, and send illegal drilling rigs to greenland. thankyou america.
How much of a moron do people have to be to downvote this, when all statements are 100% true!
If you downvote this, then please have the courtesy to show 1 single falsehood in the above!
Americans voted for the narcissistic sociopath, that had already demonstrated these sociopathic policies in his first term.
No one expects you to be an expert on every other countries political system...
But come on bro, you think America is a democracy and the people get what they vote for?
Like, even "voted for" as in popular vote doesn't matter.
States like Cali that always go D and send all their electorate college votes, don't get the turnout they would if votes actually counted.
What you did is like telling an abused spouse:
Ignoring the wife was 16 and pregnant at the wedding and the baby's not born yet.
Just completely ignorant and hateful, more like trump than you'll ever know, including the false feeling of superiority
Edit:
I take it back...
All your account does is talk about America, with that level of interest, it is a reasonable expectation that by now you e learned the basics of the political system you care so much about
Not to intrude too much from a different angle here, but seeing US politics and the messed up 2 party system and such, the more I looked the more horrified I was. Compared to e.g. European countries diverse systems with several parties all over the spectrum in parliament there's just no comparison or even democracy.
And once we Europeans say this, I get flak and aggression.
(so if I understand your post correctly interculturally we basically should agree since I am saying you don't really have much choice in politics)
the only reason I give a fuck about americans and their fucked up monarchy (that they think is a democracy) is because they insist on fucking up other countries. Diesel is over $10 per us gallon here. americans voted him in twice and tried desperately to vote him in 2020 as well, so i dont buy any excuses that its not their fault.
