Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The fact that killing Roe v Wade didn't drive every woman in this nation to CRUSH Republicans in this last election shows that we are in a downward spiral with no end in sight.

Imagine someone taking a human right from you and then you continue to support them to take more rights away from you.

Yeah. We're fucked.

The election was completely compromised and so are all the numbers. Watching our country eat each other alive when we literally did NOT vote for this is the craziest experience of my life.

Part of the problem is we have let, Congress, gerrymander everything to hell instead of rioting about it years ago

Gerrymandering is a symptom, not the cause.

The US needs to get rid of first past the post and use proportional representation, then gerrymandering won't matter, and tye two party system will fall.

We need to start screaming that the 2024 election was rigged. We ALL know it. Stop revering this "peaceful transfer of power" bullshit, that isn’t more important than demanding that our Democratic Elections be honored.

HitlerPig is going to win his 3rd term with 98% of the vote, and declare that the voters have effectively ended the 22nd Amendment, and the Dems will go along with it.

I have this worry as well. Bullet ballots are my main concern, I think that could have been the play this time around. You got other evidence?
