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!

Look, as a bystander watching on in horror I'll preface this by stating I hate Trump to the point I only watch video news on platforms I can skip hearing his voice. I hate America for subjecting me to at least another 4 years of dodging his awful mouth noises. And I hate myself for not being able to do anything more about it.
That said, he does have a mandate like it or not. Arguing 'it is not that big of a landslide' means nothing. He has the Presidency again with a popular vote majority. His party owns the Senate, the House, and the GD supreme court. This is literally the only thing he is not full of shit on so suck it up because it is the reality and will be for the next 1500 days or so. If you're an american you deserve what's coming thanks to your action, or impotence. You have zero excuse as far as the rest of the world is concerned so suck it up while we batten down the hatches and try to secure our shit from the blowback.
Go fuck yourself with this. I don't fucking deserve the horrors that are like coming for me. My country failed me.
This ignorance and denial of responsibility is exactly why you do.
Please continue loafing in your computer chair spouting vitriol at people pointing out the reality instead of getting off your statistically overweight and under-educated ass to actually be useful. You're totally making my case for me.
I'll remember how much I deserve it on the way to the concentration camp. Sorry I didn't singlehandedly turn the fucking country for you.
You know it's coming yet you lie down meekly. Accepting it months in advance. Remember it clearly.
I haven't given up. You don't fucking know me. I hope you never have to deal with this shit I'm going to have to in the best case scenario.
But of course you won't. You aren't one of those pathetic, worthless pieces of shit who had the misfortune of being born trans in America.
what do you think should be done?
Have I not made it clear? Nothing on american's end. Just keep on upvoting articles filling you with illusions of self-righteousness until that knock on the door finally comes. Fine by me.
Or... you could "Rage, rage against the dying of the light". I'm not holding my breathe for that one though.
it's weird how you are really specific when accusing everyone of behaving in the same non-constructive way but then you're really vague about what you expect people to do.
All your grandiose literary imagery makes it difficult to understand what you're trying to say.
you’re close to being right, but you’re applying statistics to individuals…
you can’t take the effect, and make it the cause:
song related to your keen observations
many of us are neither… but generally speaking: yes americans suck…
This article was written to “slam” Trump for another lie and get clicks.
He did win the popular vote and the electoral college, just not by as much as he is saying.
He also said he won the popular vote for the two elections he has lost.
I agree with your sentiment.
