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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

What would you have us do, o brave leader?
Voting would be a start.
Done, always, of course. What else do you have?
Not much, talk to others about the importance of voting. In a system that has been rigged there isn’t a lot that can be done except vote and civil disobedience.
don't let Octogenarians run your country no matter what party they are in.
Great idea - can you describe the
howfor that one? Or is it just hope that everyone votes?What is the problem with that? Especially as people start living longer?
For the giant douche or the turd sandwich?
We already knew nominating these democrats was doomed to fail, yet you blame voters and not the ones that force these bad candidates on us.
The lesser of two evils arguments don't work, not the least when the better party gets worse every fucking cycle. Look at biden, the old cunt.
Stop blaming voters. It's ironic because you will follow us, presuming you live in the west, in all liklihood. This doesn't end in America. You need to wake up.
Better candidates and parties would be great however the fact remains, if people don’t vote then they voted for the winner. Fairly simple but there appears to be a cultural issue about choosing only to vote for someone they like rather than not getting someone they hate. If voting is the only tool available for change and people don’t use it…..
Be that as it may. We knew we had a losing strategy, and kept to it, because people that suck told us it was the safe choice.
And I'm the asshole for questioning this leadership.
Find a fucking spine, a backbone and fight for your freedom.
I’m fucking tired of the strongest people on the planet asking everyone what they should do.
Drown him in your newly named Lake America for all I fucking care.
Canadians and the rest of the world are pretty much done giving a shit about you all and your apologies for your government.
Fuck off. Grow up. Fight.
Downvote me all you want. It won’t change a thing about what’s coming your way.
I need one additional step - what does this mean to you? Happy to hear all ideas, sincerely
Great idea. What would you have us do, o brave leader? Like give me steps #s 1-3
Just some ideas:
