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!

Wasn’t the time to protest like before the election? Can’t figure the US line of reasoning
I think Trump's strategy was "I'm going to sound so crazy every Democrat will assume I'll lose and don't bother voting".
And it worked.
TWICE
both times dem consultants took the bait and courted republicans. Though this is the first time right wing immigration policies were pushed by the democrat.
Hillary campaigns with Kissinger, Harris campaigns with the Cheneys, and then Democrats wonder why no one trusts them.
The only reason the DNC couldn't get Kissinger for this election is that he couldn't get a weekend pass from hell.
That's how it was for me except I did vote. But I was so confident we had it in the bag.
Well, at a certain point, "just don't be that big a dumbass" has to happen because things really can't stay together otherwise. Assuming he couldn't win is a perfectly sensible assumption. You can lead 73 million horses to water but you can't make them drink.
A mandate of hate.
It worked all right. Now we have to deal with it
They were protesting before the election. You just weren't paying attention
Or voting against a racist and facist for oval office.
