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!

If you are a non-Trump voter in a red state, especially if you work for the flagship company or industry in that state, I would like to apologize on behalf of all Canadians for what our government is about to do. We don't want to do it but it is the only way to deal with a bully.
We don't blame you. We're also sorry the loudest third of our population are uneducated crabs in a bucket pulling us all down.
I mean, it's the Democrats fault for not winning the election. You can't blame Republicans for what the Democrats did, allowing Trump to win. So if anything, Trump is just being manipulated to do this by blue maga. God damn Democrats fucking over the American people over and over again.
Am I doing this right? \s
This is sadly related to the argument of Germany's conservative party right now, voting with right-extremists: "look what the left has made me do, we had to vote with Nazis, because the left didn't vote with us🥲"
you need to add in how the Democrats are just the same as Republicans, they are all just getting paid by billionaires to create fascism; so maybe go shoot somebody or sabotage something.
Idk why I keep seeing comments like this, as though blame is a limited resource. For sure blame Republicans for actually being fascists, obviously, but Democrats deserve it too. This endgame has been visible since at least the 90s, and was impossible to miss by the time of the Tea Party. Over a decade of trying to compromise with unmistakeable fascists is inexcusable. Democrats repeatedly run a campaign playbook that both loses elections and shifts our political norms rightward over and over. Even now I see no signs that the party is interested in change. Fuck em.
Nathan Poe would be proud.
So we deserve this? That's your take?
Lolwut? Do you not know what the \s means?
Lol oops I may have been a little impaired from the cold medicine when I read you comment earlier. I missed the "/s"
Yeah but could you imagine having a woman president?
I know right, not to mention a black woman President, egg prices would be through the roof!
Yeah, $8300 maybe. Someone remind me of this in a year.
The entire working class is probably gonna end up paying 20-50% more in 2025... or more accurately, gonna get 20-50% less value from their money.
Good thing those eggs will be cheaper, then.
That must be daily spending, not including your retirement fund’s lost value.
Friday afternoon cost me ~15 times that much
Blyat!
So….NOT less?
