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!

Dems punched left instead of right... Enabled a genocide and lost the support of their base.
Surprise.... genocide is going to continue even faster and more so now that trump is in power. All the voters who sat out because of gaza are fucking idiots and will now get to see gaza completely destroyed and helped by the US even more with trump....and they get to watch Ukrainians die as well...and probably Taiwan.
So good job dipshits.
See this is where your train of reasoning is stupid and pointless. You're blaming and shaming millions of individual voters, most of which will never read your comments and the ones who do won't get a shit what you think 😘
Instead of trying to alter the individual behavior of all those people, maybe we should just give them what they want to vote for instead. But hey it don't matter democracy is over.
When you're staring at fascist you don't decide to not pull the trigger when they've got a gun pointed at you. Now was not the time to protest vote.
Wow! Shaming millions of individual voters sure worked in 2016 and 2024. I'm glad you're still doing it /s
Yea millions of voters that might not get a chance to make a change now that the turnip is going to get into power...and add 2 more lifelong theocratic judges to the scotus.....yea that'll teach em....
Exactly so your shaming and blaming is even more useless now.
Whiners like you enabled the genocide. What are you gonna do about it now, write the White House, " plz mister Trump I did my best to generate voter apathy so you can get elected, plz stop the genocide now"
Now the Dems have NO political power, and geniuses like you will most certainly continue to blame them for not stopping Trump and the Republicans from finishing the job.
Congrats, Quisling! You win!
What you're doing right now is the real culprit... punching left. I voted and I'm in a solid blue state so my electoral votes would have went to Kamala regardless but you're not going to get that and I guess it really doesn't matter cuz you're never going to have a chance to vote in real election again anyway.
