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!

no shit, sherlock.
zero reason to be proud of a fascist government.
fuck the 4th of july.
I've never been diagnosed with "clinical depression".
I'm guessing now it would be "yes".
My country is completely losing it's shit and even an Ocean wide bidet isn't good enough to clean the asses of 75 million Harris voters.
Good point. And now I gotta go check if there are going to be more protests planned around here for the 4th.
I need to look for one as well 50501 is not showing one in my area.
This. And I’m otherwise a very patriotic American veteran.
Great, so you're organizing with your fellow veterans to do something about it, right?
Yeah. I'm not going to any celebrations of the country this weekend. I don't have it in me to be patriotic right now. It's wild how far we've fallen in the past decade. And flabbergasting how much further we fell over the last 6 months.
I never thought I'd literally be stocking up on ammunition over political shifts in the US. That's what the crazies on the right do.
Only reason I'm gonna set off fireworks is for my kid. He turned 5 in May and has been begging me to set off fireworks for the 4th.
I just can't imagine 36% are still proud.
It has always been ~30-40% in this country... These are the "deplorables" that Hillary was referring to.
They will never change.
Take a trip through flyover country (my hometown!), there are still loads of stupid people everywhere.
Oh, I believe it. I just can't imagine it.
See the left side of the curve.:
