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!

Yeah, well, we had the largest protest in U.S. history on June 14th, we aren't doing nothing. Would you like us to make the potential civil war hot now or later? I honestly would prefer to just do this shit peacefully, but that may not be an option. We certainly aren't doing nothing like you are saying. Just bcz hou dont personally see it doesn't mean everyone is laying down.
oh i didn’t say we were not doing nothing - I just can’t talk online about how I really feel it’s gonna end up.
Just wish we'd get it over with already so the healing and rebuilding can start. I'd like to see things head the right way before old age takes me in a couple decades, and it's gonna be a bit to undo all this.
Unfortunately I strongly believe peaceful protest only works with a government that actually gives a shit. If we had a government that was comprised of people who we simply disagreed with but who still respected "the will of the people" they'd react to massive outcries.
We do not have that government. We have a government actively pushing for the president to have ~~dictator~~ "unitary executive" powers. As in: setting the president above the judiciary, and having Congress subservient to the presidency. They do not give a single solitary fuck about how upset we are about XYZ thing.
Nope. No Kings was the third largest in US history after Earth Day 1970 and BLM, and given that it was basically a weekend parade I'd say No Kings was nothing.
Why dont you organize a bigger one then that isn't on a weekend, and try to get more people to participate instead of just complaining about it? If you're not going to do something then be quiet...Seriously, who comes in with this shit, 'actually iTs oNlY ThE tHiRd bIgGeSt iN hIStOrY'
I'm not complaining; I'm simply making a statement of fact. Quite literally no resistance happened on June 14th.
