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!

I'm unironically at the point where I would absolutely vote for the person who promises to exile every Trumper in this country. So...
Say this lightly, because if you look at how someone like Saddam rose to power...it's starting to look less far-fetched for the orange kid-diddler to pull.
I honestly believe that a lot of higher officials should be hanged for treason. Starting with Trump and working our way down until justice is fully served.
No matter what, it's going to take decades to undo Trump's damage and frankly some of it is permanent. I expect no less than the next Dem President to be a full on leftwing dictator. Tear down the border wall, naturalize a shitload of immigrants, pack the court, yank every penny of aid to Israel, shutter every private prison, send the Nat Guard to Bezo's house, and delete every record of student loan debt.
That doesn't describe a dictator, that describes a courageous reformer who is taking his country back. Whether he is a dictator or not is determined by who he perceives as his enemies, how he treats them, and how he handles the next election.
Nothing in this world is permanent, including the world itself.
I don't want that, but I do want full rollback of every single action Trump has done, every piece of legislation he signed, every executive order, and every appointment he made, and I want to see measures put in place to prevent someone like Trump ever again gaining power.
Guess that I will try to aim for that position, if I somehow get close enough. I have big ideas about UBI, redefining how work...well, works, and how to make political powers more egalitarian. Unfortunately, I don't think they could be realistically be implemented without a huge amount of force, be it social, political, or militant.
I want the best future for people, but it feels like it can't happen without being a complete jerk. 😞
You do realize they are fixing elections. There might not be a non republican president again for some time.
I'll believe 2020 was the last free election in this country.
Free ish. I strongly suspect they have been cheating in every way possible in States they control for some time. Not just in the quasi-legal ways we know about.
Now they have infiltrated down to the county level and streamlined their process of delivering death threats to election officials and have the programming of all the election vote counting machinery thanks to 2020, and everything else, I don't know if you followed the 2020 thing but they are geared up to fix it and the Democrats have done shit to stop them, they have actively suppressed the people that actually are trying to stop them.
We could win but we won't because we fight under the Democrats is the bottom line, they are the controlled opposition. We could take it from them but we aren't because we are not organized and they play us off each other and we are to fucking stupid to realize it.
