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!

Show me how standing your ground prevented him from being elected.
What do you mean standing my ground? The state I live in is one of the only places where voting for democrats locally is actually worth it! How is it my fault as a single voter?! I already voted for them!!
In your state you have that power. At the federal level you have to do the least harm.
How is it my fault if I already voted for them though? It’s also the Democratic Party who’s responsible for, oh you know, the ENTIRE party? I’m literally only one vote. If it were my responsibility the republicans wouldn’t have won my city. Do you even understand what you’re talking about here?
You claimed responsibility in your previous comment. Time to let this conversation go and move on with your life.
And this is what, your attempt to make me feel like a loser? To make yourself not feel like one? I won’t move on, the DNC and liberals are trying to move on from their failures. Failure to codify roe v wade, failure to secure large scale legislation on free healthcare and schooling, failed on taxing the rich (even locally for me, mind you. Infact democrats locally, bipartisan are letting the richest inhabitants not pay taxes on new businesses and hotels). So even if I change one persons mind on holding the DNC accountable I win in my book. Please don’t shut your eyes to the lies the DNC is telling you. Make them earn our fucking votes for fucks sake. And then go outside.
it's your apparent anger that made me suggest leaving this conversation behind. You're making many assumptions and projecting a lot of emotion on others.
I don’t understand the need to keep poking at me. I have a point, if you don’t wanna hear it and you’re just gonna insult me personally then it’s not worth it for either of us. I’m talking about politics, not people’s feelings. People currently having children are telling me they think the US is gonna collapse into “fascist communist authoritarianism” within the next 10 years so excuse me for trying to reach ppl while taking shits before / at work
I'm going to just block you at this point.
ok, then do it and don’t tell me? You wanted to wait 16 hours for a response before you let me go? It’s gross dude. Just shut up and get outta here
