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!

Have you seen the mass protests protesting the mass protestors getting imprisoned for protesting?
Sounds like it’s time to try something that isn’t as easily ignored.
This is the part where Americans shirk responsibility by telling me “you first” and then telling me “then keep your mouth shut” when they hear I’m not from the states- which is 1) hilarious coming from Americans and 2) helps them to go on pretending someone else will come to save them.
Protests are important. But our biggest tool is the general strike.
If you insist on non-violence, why are we not seeing more cyberwarfare? Ransomware. MITM attacks. Social engineering. Catfishing. Expose the thousands of pedophiles in the GOP- politicians AND voters. Disrupt or intercept communication. Hit them financially. Protests are easily ignored. Cyberattacks aren’t.
Out-tech these guys. Outsmart them. Even the clever, crafty alt-right assholes at the end of the day aren’t PARTICULARLY bright. The “left” in the US, such as it is, is very much not living up to its self-proclaimed intelligence relative to the right.
I mean, this exists:

And those are just the officials who have been caught by law enforcement.
I say, open season on the voters themselves as well- by everyone. Out them to their families, employers, religious groups- go wild.
Lol wut. That happens all the time. But DoS doesn't take down fascists and the courts apparently dont care if you're a rapist if you're a billionaire.
I’m talking mostly about the voters, not the party leaders.
But hey, if you don’t like the non-violent option, there’s always the other one.
