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!

The folks with brains voted blue. The dumbasses voted for Trump.
I strongly dislike democrats, for the record. I'm independent, and I really think democrats are shit. But I voted for Kamala.
It's a mystery why politics is so polarized these days...
Trump is terrible, but many people voted for him because they saw something in him that they wanted or needed. It was most likely based on lies but it's what they needed. Any alternative, if it hopes to win, must address the same needs.
i mean, making bad decisions because you fell for a lie is pretty much my definition of dumb.
Oh hey, the perfect comment.
Voting for the people actively funding genocide and thinking that they were the best choice is exactly my definition of dumb.
Yeah, I agree, that's why I didn't vote for Trump.
Best doesn't mean good.

In a system that mathematically converts third choices into one of the original two options, you go with the better one of the two. Knowing about the shitshow that is first past the post voting changes tactics dramatically without changing values.
Nah dog they voted for trump because team sports. He is their tiny brains highschool football team. The pastor wouldn't let them go to prom if trump didn't win. Also no amount of reaching across the aisle will win one vote, they literally vote against their best interests because it feels good.
Oh please, they've been calling liberals America hating baby killers for decades.
Maybe if Democrats didn't keep lying to us about our material conditions the last 4 years and telling us we are not struggling, the public wouldn't have to look somewhere else.
