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!

You are passing the buck, not taking responsibility for trusting The Establishment Democrats knew what they were doing, despite them not knowing what they were doing. Doomed to fail strategy and you are blaming the voters for not continually supporting a worthless Democratic party constitutionally opposed to stopping the republicans, even after a direct attempt to kill the Republic in all but name.
No matter how little esteem we afford the American electorate, they always are worse.
The full court press in 2020 led to nothing. It was clear to everybody the Republicans were going to when in 2021. Because of your Democrats you still allowed to run the opposition.
They’re not blaming them, just outlining that this is, in fact, what they voted for.
You think you voted against the current administration? Because there was no world where these Democrats were going to stop the fascists for more than 4 years.
You’re right, it’s better that fascism happened sooner. Fascist accelerationism was definitely the better option. Enjoy what you voted for.
First of all it is an ad hominem to assume that I did not vote. Second of all, voting changed nothing, the Democrats refuse to be popular enough to stop the republicans, and refused to enforce the law against the Republicans.
Whatever you gotta’ tell yourself, buddy.
The Democrats had four years to stop fascism and they did absolutely nothing. What was four more years supposed to do?
I already admitted defeat, it’s a good thing that fascist accelerationism happened, we are definitely in the current best case scenario, there is no way we could have done better. I’m glad you got what you wanted and voted for, fascism destroying america is a good outcome, the best outcome. You’re so right. You’re so fucking right.
Why don't you answer my question instead of attacking a strawman? What were Democrats going to do? Their leadership is 100% complicit in this, they were never going to do anything. The best case scenario comes from We the People, not the fucking Democrats. You're looking at one head of the hydra and hoping that it saves you from the other head.
No, no, you’re right, I’m not arguing, outright fascism was the best possible solution, we’re in the best timeline. I’m glad you people voted for this. The democrats wouldn’t have stopped the genocide in Gaza outright and ended Israel entirely overnight and turned america into a socialist dreamscape, so homeland theocratic fascism on top of accelerating the goals of Israel is so much better. The lesser evil is, after all, still evil, so it’s better to just fill the glass, right? You’re glad the democrats lost, I get it, you’re entirely justified.
Idk what the fuck you're on about mate. You're like that mentally ill dude wandering down the side of the highway rambling to himself. None of that has anything to do with anything I said. Seek help bro. I wish you well.
Sure.
And the answer to what would the democrats do: We have no idea, they’re not in power, but I can easily say not this.
Irony is great when you're out of arguments isn't it you pos
This has been super fun, and all, but fuck off.
Suck my bowl
Fascism was already happening, asshole. They were just cozying up domestic population in exchange for submission. You don't give a shit your party of choice bombed civilians lmao you're a terrible person who were ready to throw foreigners under the bus for your own safety and now you get neither lmao
You are passing the buck, refusing to take responsibility for believing The Establishment knew what they were doing.
Lmao you just took the word blame out of your last message as if that changes anything. Lol.
If you want: Who's ~~blaming~~ passing the buck? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
