Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Not even a month in, champs. Not even a month.

Don't be so pessimistic! Don't think it's been only a month, think there's only 47 more months to go!

You don’t really believe there will be elections again, do you?

Of course not! I was referring to the months remaining of theater. People need time to adjust, so they won't be announcing the switch to monarchy until the last moment.

It really is amazing how January is 8 years long. I would have thought it was shorter, but it's still going...

I'm waiting for 2027 before I start being shocked at anything happening. That will be quite a year.

I'm sure they will have started grooming his successor by then. Even if he tries to push for extending term limits his cognition will be on a steep decline at that point.

Thiel already chose Shady Vance. He doesn't have the cult leader charisma to win a fair election, but that won't matter anymore by then.

It already is and they don't care lol they won't care until he's actually cold

It'll be a perfect shitstorm. It'll also show the horizon of what's coming from the current administrations current changes.

10 days of this shit so far. Can I line up to vote now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

There is something called a vote of no confidence but i think you need a large majority
