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!

That’s where you’re at? Blaming people who are fed up with the US’ god-awful system? Mad that they didn’t vote for the same party that enables this crap?
Up here in Canada, we have a progressive option and I am so fucking mad that people refused to vote for them. This “enable the conservatives masquerading as the center” thing is old and tired, and I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’ve never fallen for it, and I’m so disappointed in people that tell me that it’s my fault despite being one of the few people actually doing the right thing.
I will never blame people for sending a message and doing their best to use what little voice they have. The Democrats couldn’t even beat Trump and all they had to do was admit to one of the most obvious genocides in history. The people who refused to vote for them are well aware of what happened, and as far as I’m concerned their names are clean.
Be mad at tens of millions of people who actively and cheerfully voted for Trump. Be mad at the “moderates” who tell everyone to suck it up and vote slightly-less-conservative but who will never make any effort to make a progressive compromise. Don’t be mad at the people who didn’t want their name marked under “actively supporting a genocide”. It’s not their fault the US is a flaming shithole that deserves nothing less than to be thrown into the fucking sun.
Go after the people actively causing the damage or go find a tall bridge over fast moving water.
