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!

This country isnt making it to the next presidential election without mass turmoil and unrest. It will be an entirely different place again by then.
Yup. America is fucked for the foreseeable. No one trusts the system anymore. In 2020, the MAGA said the election was stolen. In 2024, the Dems said the same thing(Thankfully, they didnt storm the capitol like fucking morons though).
America is definitely on a path of some to a hard showdown. Not trusting the system, thinking that the only way you can lose is because the other side cheated... nothing good comes from that. The Republican party needs to take back control from the MAGA fuckwits. This extremism on their end is radicalising elements of the left that are becoming the other side of the MAGA coin. And thats only going to make more MAGA morons.
Someone, ANYONE, needs to get that party back to being just corrupt again. Cos what they are now is fucking silly. And by silly, I mean dangerous as fuck.
That's precisely what created MAGA. That's the swamp.
The Democrats did purge the radicals... and that was their base. Over decades, America's heartland was sold out to corporations and the urban Brunch Democrats didn't care. The small farms are gone. Then right wing Democrats told middle America that the economy was fine when it most clearly was not.
Biden was a moderate. Harris was a moderate. What's that definition of insanity again?
