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!

No, that's not hyperbole
Are all the people who couldn't be bothered to vote happy now? Do they still think the democrats would have been just as bad?
Instead of one genocide we're getting two!
The chickens have come home to roost
You actually think those people watch the news and get accurate information? Misinformed people are always going to learn the wrong lesson.
I am finding lately the news isn't talking about what I want it to talk about ie. The impending hostile invasion of Chicago. Also barely heard about the protests on labor day and am barely hearing about the concentration camps.
Some of them very much seem to be. I still hear ding-a-lings bitching about Biden (vague complaints that don't really name any single thing other than he wasn't in front of the cameras all the time like our narcissist in chief is these days and that he's old - but fuck, Taco is old as fuck, too and is crazy, and surrounds himself with crazy).
Others keep on supporting Taco because "he's not status quo" and he's "not a politician" and he's "shaking things up".
Yeah, full on fucking Civil War where millions end up dead is also not status quo, either, but what the fuckity fuck.
If we have a civil war, Biden will be remembered as a Buchanon, a man too corrupt and craven to do what was necessary to stand for justice and prevent a civil war.
The dems will be remembered like the SDP, libs who birthed fascism, then handed power to fascists and continued to try to work with them, against the left, until the fascists realized they would better serve as examples than partners.
It is extremely unethical to blame the voters for the sins of politicians. You don't need to pander and carry water for corporate Dems. They're not going to pick you. They knew exactly what they had to do to win the election, but they decided that they knew better than their voters. It is unamerican to blame the voters for the sins of their leaders.
It is ridiculous to give a free pass to voters who voted for mask-off, celebrated hate and bigotry. Blaming the DNC while Trump 2028 flags are flying 6 months into his 2nd and legally final term is deflection at best and bad-faith shit posting at worst.
Republicans are satanic. We know this. But they're beyond salvation and there's no point in really considering them. They're demons and will vote for evil at every turn.
Thankfully there aren't enough Republican demons to actually win elections. They're going to vote for maximum evil every election, but that hasn't changed and will never change. They're barely even human beings at this point; they're mindless zombies brainwashed by conservative media. There's no point focusing or considering them, as they're a constant in any election. They will vote pro-demon every time. Bitching about Republicans is like bitching about literal Satan, the guy with the horns. Yeah, Satan's evil. That's his whole deal. Bitching about it won't change anything.
The reason we focus on Democrats is that they're the only side that actually can potentially do any good in the electoral system. I hold them responsible for willingly handing the country over to the devils. They decided they would rather hand the country over to the demons rather than adopt the policies their base actually wanted. They lost the election. The demons just kept doing what they'll always do, be demonic. Complaining about Satan is completely pointless and unproductive.
Your attitude is actually one of the main reasons Democrats lost. Kamala and the DNC aren't willing to completely write off Republicans, despite all evidence of their absolute irredeemable evil. And you're here trying to pin the election on them, as if they're not just an unchanging constant in our system. The DNC actually tried to reach out to them, as they, like yourself, believed that some redemption was actually possible among Republican voters. You're still focusing on Republicans. In reality you should ignore them all together as they are completely beyond saving.
A. Invoking the evil of Satan against a literal Satanist is bringing piss to a shit fight.
B. Dehumanization is a tool of fascism; you are the problem.
