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!

"I am against world hunger."
There, all of the world's problems are solved.
Talk is cheap. Americans clearly haven't done enough to address Trump and/or the causes of Trump, or we wouldn't be here. Rigged prosecutors is just one symptom of that, and should be seen as a kick in the ass to do more.
What have you done? The point of my post was to remind you that there is no single American monolithic moral entity.
As an individual, you and an American have the same moral agency and duty to correct a wrong that you did not directly create. Likewise you share the same collective blame. So tell me, why haven't you done more? If you think the question is absurd, you've just explained to yourself why it's absurd to hold an individual American who hasn't personally solved Trump to blame for Trump.
Again, some Americans do deserve blame. A lot of them in fact. Which ones? The ones who support and acted in support of Trump. It's pretty simple actually. Moral reasoning doesn't have to be hard, but you have to put in the effort rather than just say what makes you feel good and righteous.
Sure, it's a fair question. Without doxxing myself, I'm in a situation where there's few realistic options for me to contribute more without getting myself arrested. Plus, I have my own local politics to focus on, which helps my community resist Trump.
To be fair, maybe I could help do some remote organization with more engaged groups, I will look into that.
Anyways, scapegoating the 30% of Americans who actively voted for trump honestly just makes the problem worse.
