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!

Do what about it?
ANYTHING!
(Gestures wildly to every point in history where democracy was fought for)
You've got 3 firearms per person, fucking use them and stop acting helpless.
Lol, the advocate for anarchism sits comfortably in his mom's basement. Come on over, homeboy. We could use you.
Not an anarchist, socialist democracy enthusiast.
Rent my own place and contribute to society.
I'm dealing with issues in my own country and therefore getting my own house in order. Sort your own house out or stop whining that you're wallowing in sadness and garbage.
You don't have to take up arms, but that's a huge risk when confronting those whom have and want to end your democracy.
Just do SOMETHING: join one protest, or distribute one leaflet, or donate one time to an organisation that'll be resisting against the orange fuck.
I mean, what hoity toity bullshit that you think you can tell someone else what to do when you can't handle your own shit. Come on over here and solve all of our problems, asshole. You're very welcome to. Sounds like you have other stuff to deal with. Just shut up.
Correction, I'm handling my own shit whereas you're unwilling to handle yours, and thus we arrive back at my original point: do something about your shit and stop expecting someone else to do it for you.
Lazy.
Who's expecting you to do anything? When have you ever done anything? I promise, nobody in America is counting on your dumbass to do anything for them. Just sit there and observe. You'll probably learn something.
You, in your last reply...? Let me quote you:
How dare you comment your opinion in a public space >:(
What?
