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!

Non-Trump votes feel very different now that he's won.
I'm a lot less trusting of people. I thought I distrusted people before, but JFC, I had no idea how much lower that bar could go!
oh, we're not at the lowest yet unfortunately.
Wait until trump's admin actually starts up and all those people start supporting concentration camps for the migrants, LGBTQ+ members, and "political dissidents". Wait until a democratic/progressive congressperson gets assassinated and watch how they will give zero fucks about it and support doing more of that. Wait until they start actually getting hyper-violent in the streets, shooting people they think are the "enemy", and getting away with it scott free.
We have so much further to fall over the next 4 years. And all those people you distrust now, will be on the frontlines defending every one of those actions.
Yeah, I'm expecting the FBI to go back to the good ole days of killing "communists" and anyone who dares to say workers and minorities should have rights.
Oh you sweet summer child...
My apathy for anyone outside of my nuclear family is significantly higher than it was a few weeks ago. I'm just stocking up on masks, purell, and stuff for the coming year+ when a bird flu kills the yuckyucks and I can't buy tuna anymore because captain brain worms and the orange don't believe in science and will actively punish anyone who does for trying to get medicine. They saw their own covid response and went "hmm we did too much. Let's take more away" it's just mind boggling.
Wow. Election outcome affects feelings. Such insight.
