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!

Awww sweet baby. Your country is completely fucked and the best you can do is desperately attempt to deflect and justify. Fix your shit, it’s broken and so intertwined with everyone else(often by force and/or coercion) that we all definitely have good reason to complain. And if you’re so clever it should be easy, right?
You’re adorable. Complain all you want. It is fucked up. But just know, fascism coming for you soon. It’s a global trend.
None of this deflection is making your crap country any better. Here in Canada we pushed our Trump-loving candidate out, even if barely, when there was no way we should have expected to come to that result. Now, in the face of our neighbour being absolutely batshit, we are standing firm and telling the US we don’t need them anymore. We are barely hanging on in many ways but we’re doing it even under the immense pressure from the south while those fools have really no need to be this way but cannot help themselves. Richest country in the world and all the tools to fix their problems but instead they’re here.
There is a lack of perfection in the world and things aren’t as good as they should be. Still, when the chips are down the Conservatives get denied, the AFD loses, and so on and so forth. Except in the US, of course, where things just keep getting worse and worse.
A sad country, that USA. Fix your shit.
The silver lining in the solid wall of roiling black anvil clouds of our storm. At least we helped Canada avoid their own Magat regression
Canada lost to fascism by 3%. The next election will flip you. Fascism is clearly the direction the world is going at the moment. If you had the capability of focusing on anything outside of the United States, you would see this.
I needed a good laugh this morning, so thank you
"tell me what country your from and I'll tell you how it's doomed"
-Is told a country, the 'great insight' is "I'm sure next election people will vote for fascism."
Anything to avoid thinking about the problems in your own country or how to deal with it right? Just roll over and take it, it's the American Way.
And yet no country.
If you can't decipher my country from my instance I don't put a lot of faith in yor skills.
Anyone can sign up for .ca.
Fascism lost by 3% in Canada. Next election it wins.
What a fascinating complex insight you have provided. How about this:
Next election Facism looses.
There. I have rebutted your argument with the exact same strength and value of argument you provided.
Of course you needed a laugh, the US is a hellhole and not getting any better. Buddy I know mental health is treated badly in the US but lashing out at others isn’t going to make your situation any better. Build something better.
I’m not the one lashing out ;)
