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 don't think they can protect me. My family has been uprooted before thanks to war. I can't sleep tonight. I dk what to do. I don't understand why I have so many challenges this year. I'm starting to feel darker thoughts again. I struggled so much in the past and here we go again.

Seasons pass. In two years we will begin to undo what was set in motion today. We survived him before. We will survive him again. Somehow.
Sure but everything is red. Dude is gonna do whatever he wants.
Nuke Spain? Prob gonna do it.
Sanctions? Like he cares and the murican people apparently will thank him for it.
I don't know, man. I'm trying to hang on here myself. Get some sleep and some perspective. Survive one day at a time. That's how I got through his first four years.
And I might just withdraw from social media and news. I'm not sure I'm going to want to know what happens over the next four years.
Well it's probably gonna suck as minority or a woman, or lgbtq+.
All folks I have in my life. But then, I'm getting up there. I've definitely lived through more hostile times toward them. But I really hoped my kids wouldn't have to.
I don't want to bring in life just to suffer. This has cost me so much.
I've got five kids. I have no choice but push forward and keep fighting for them. But the truth is, they seem poised to take on darker days than I ever have.
Bless thier hearts. I don't have the heart to do it. I'm super depressed over this. What was 4 decades of being a good person for when a dbag can become president 2x? I should have just been a villain.
