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

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!

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
But don't you see how great things are in Gaza now? Surely the downfall of democracy was worth it.
Things in Gaza will be totally worth it when it is razed to the ground and a huge Trump resort is built on top of it. Gazans can work as waiters and masseuses where their houses used to be!
At least we stuck it to GeNoCiDe JoE, though
The Democrats went out of their way to spite to the left at every chance and played to the mythical swing voter. A strategy that has never worked more than a one-off. What do you call somebody that keeps doing the same thing expecting different results? Stupid.
I love how y'all love to blame Gaza as if the lack of voters was only to do with that. I mean there were voters who were pro Gaza and voted for fuckin Trump, so I think the Dems "give you nothing" platform was actually an issue.
The Dem's strategy doesn't work. It might have worked in 1984 but not now. It's their fault they keep losing. They can't act like leftist's concerns don't matter yet blame them for their own loss
But Harris had a shrill laugh.
... Psst....
The real reason she lost was that she has a vagina. But they know they can't say that out loud. So, "shrill laugh" it is
what?
you're totally ignoring that she’s….

Read: I didn’t read the article
He never does. Just mindlessly trolls and then sea lions when called out for it.
He says what the mods agree with though so it's never dealt with, unlike those who point out their sealioning or strawmans
Why accept that your favorite party has issues when you can blame a nebulous group of people? Toss in a dash of "I don't actually care if people get hurt when my guy does it" sometimes too!
Bbbb bbbb but Blue Maga!!!
/s
What did i do?
Sorry, wrong number
Not nearly enough protest voters to account for the massive losses of supporters Kamala suffered for her pro-war, pro-genocide, neocon friendly campaign. It was easily one of the worst run campaigns in my lifetime, and despite how abhorrent Trump is, you shouldn’t be surprised at this loss. And you should be ashamed for continuing to blame voters, instead of the failures that are DNC leadership. Who else do we know of who routinely blames the powerless victims for their failures, rather than hold themselves accountable? Be better.
All the Dems had to do was hold a primary in good faith to show they gave a damn about democracy. Couldn’t even do that. Losers.
Let's forget a neolib Democrat was president and let an insurrection, election rigging, a child raping conspiracy, and more slide into the background.
You can literally vote blue and shit gets worse and then you're an asshole for not voting blue. Fucking maga shits of another color.
Real leftists have moved on from the election, while.fake "centrists" are still scapegoating leftists for their own defeat. You didn't let us make any choices, you can't blame us for the results
