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!

Of course it matters. It doesn't matter to trump but the public is not trump
If it doesn’t matter enough for anyone to do anything about it, it doesn’t matter at all.
Yes only bloody revolution matters /s
The only way out is through, and the sooner we get to the tipping point the better.
This sounds like accelerationism. It’s all the rage amongst Elon and his ilk. The problem with this is there’s no certainty that we’ll make it through.
France survived the Reign of Terror.
The "public's opinion" is of very little concern without a threat of violence to back it up.
you go first.
I already am... My community, and myself, have already started putting into action plans to help us through this: Bolstering our mutual aid network, doing first aid classes, hitting the range weekly now, planning our block gardens, etc etc.
I meant that if you're going to advocate for violence, you go first.
Wny do you think we are doing weekly range days now?
It might be a good idea not to advertise this online, if true.
Oh noes! A group of neighbors goes to the range weekly, grows food in gardens, and learns first aid... You're right, they'll drop firebombs on us like the did to MOVE.
I mean, it is what it is. My activities have been pretty openly discussed elsewhere, and apparently, it never tripped a background check. Not with the IRS, Dept of Education, Dept of the Treasury, TS-SCIF clearances, etc etc...
You are the one who just made that implication, not me.
15mil who voted last time didn't this time. 40+ declared they give two shits about what kind of person Trump is. The public does not give af.
