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!

Please note this is not directed at you personally as I'm sure you are a good person on an individual level.
Speaking as a Canadian I, and many of us, are absolutely fed up of your bullshit because regardless of if you personally voted for that shithead and every other shithead around him like Lutnick or Hoefstra this is who the country wants representing them.
This is also not new behaviour. We have known for decades we are attached to a big brother we love dearly but also happens to run a meth lab in their house and beats their wife.
You need help. Honest to God you need help. Yet all your country can do is punch down and wail about the rest of the world not bending over when you tell it to.
We tried helping you get better. We continue to try because we love you. But Jesus Christ get your shit together.
You cannot both generalize all of this and also not direct it at members of the group. America is fucked, and telling the people most aware and most upset by it that they're fucked isn't helping. Oh you didn't direct it at me? Do you want me to force magats to read this comment? I'll never understand the point in this kind of conversation. The effect is literally nothing but rubbing it in while being self righteous.
Where isn't fucked?
Thank you for still caring
How could we not care? You're our brother after all. But it hurts a lot so much that yes we are making distance now. Not because we stopped caring, but it hurts us as well.
Regardless of what people think about Carney or Pollievre the numbers show average Canadians are not going to America anymore and average Canadians want to distance ourselves from America.
Americans writ large are not aware of the generational damage being wrecked on their nation. This will take decades if not centuries to heal at best and may never return to what it once was.
I used to see value in Canadian Moralism. Now I just see it self righteous high horsing. Their claim to political fame, Pierre Trudeau, has had every remaining thread of dignity shredded by his son.
Canadians have decided it is sufficient to make their single standpoint "well at least we're not Americans". And submitted themselves to being easily manipulated media puppets who no longer know their "big brother" because they believe everything their manipulative parents tell about him.
