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!

There will probably be no consequences anyways.
Absolutely fucking wild.
PSA for new folks: please don’t feed the troll in this thread.
My money is on them being a fed, not a troll.
It’s YOUR JOB to give them consequences.
But no, just go to your No Kings parade and pat yourself on the back for “doing your best.”
Wha do you reckon Americans do? They’re fucked no matter what. You can condescend all you want but you have just as much power as they do to help them: None
Bullshit
Good luck! You’re really making a difference posting garbage online!
Nah- so much. My impact is about equal with that of the “No Kings” protest. So… you know. Cute, mostly well-intentioned, but ultimately useless.
Great ideas for solutions, you’re a genius! Way to go, champ.
Bending over before they even ask. How brave of you.
I think you need to focus on your own country's issues.
In other words, go away.
This is like telling someone that is depressed that they need to smile more.
Makes you feel better anyone who has dealt with it just sees an asshole.
Great. I'll make sure to coddle you. And meanwhile, you get steamrolled by Nazis.
This is fun. Of this was a hundred years ago, you definitely would be blaming the Jews for being sent to concentration camps.
It's possible to go to a protest, meet some people, and then go kick some Nazis together. Not everyone just holds a sign and stops there.
Aren't you Canadian?
Yeah. You might remember us from a few solid decades of telling you this was going to happen. Remember, when you got shitty and belligerent about it? "America's hat?" Something like that.
It's interesting how when US liberals get defensive about their inaction they start sounding like US conservatives.
Jesus dude. Just want to be angry at someone, huh?
Most American response.
“Anger? That’s just so unpleasant.”
What do you suggest I do? Say it directly, psycho
It's more interesting when America's hat won't shut the fuck up about a situation they have no power in effecting. Go bitch about your countries own shortcomings.
Congrats, you're a Bush-era republican.
And you're a high horsing twat curiously ignoring your own country falling off a right-wing cliff right behind us.
Coward.
What exactly makes me a coward there loudmouth?
You'd clearly rather give cover to MAGA talking points than throw a punch in defense of your country.
Look at you. More angry at me than you are at the Nazis in your neighborhood. Maybe you should take some of this impotent rage and direct it at the people who aren't on (what you insist is ) your side.
Quote me providing a maga talking point and not something that is objectively true that you simply don't like being said.
Who said I'm angry, you're the one loudly crying while punching yourself in the dick.
Here's a hint, read a name.
Done
“NO U.” Excellent work.
Read a fucking name, I even gave you a not so subtle hint. That wasn't me you fuckin idiot.
At least I can read well enough to keep up with 7 comments and somehow many to keep people separate that are literally named, it's not a great by any means but it does appear to be something you're wildly incapable of doing.

Username the_q and to quote a legend, "what's my motherfuckin name?"
clowned on wizard so hard he had to run away to troll other comment sections…
"Wah my countries falling for the same bullshit so I gotta act like an edgy teenager one last time before I can't. "
And you're a current era Canadian with no power in US affairs. Don't you have your own issues with corruption, genocide and rightwing bullshit? Fuck how pathetic to sideline whine about a game you aren't playing in.
Time to go beating children that I assume are Nazis I guess
