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!

MODERATORS
Nah, fuck this mindset. I'm going to blame everyone who voted for the racist, homophobic rapist.
I'm also blaming propaganda from billionaires and Russia.
As well as the White House. Biden should have stepped down so we could have ran an actual primary.
And the White House sat on Trump's insurrection for four fucking years.
The system as a whole failed us when it didn't convict Trump on either impeachment.
You cannot convince me that Republicans wouldn't have been rabidly screaming from rooftops that a Democratic President should be impeached if one did the same things Trump did while in office. And the sad thing is Democrats would have agreed and impeached him.
Republicans only care about holding on to power. Nothing else anymore.
And we as a nation just handed it to a candidate who wants to be 'Dictator for a day' as if any dictator has ever willingly relinquished power.
As someone in a non-traditional relationship, and who has two female children, I am fucking terrified.
I'm scared too. I just started hormone replacement therapy a few months ago, and found self-acceptance for the first time in my life. And also have a child, who's a very sweet boy that will become a young man with misogynist assholes in power. That's not the example I want for him.
I've been crying this morning. And I'm crying now.
I was planning on starting in the next couple of years myself, once I was financially stable enough to. I don't know what to tell you or anyone else, but I think we're dead.
The entire LGBTQ community is dead if we stick out at all.
Yep, yep, continue burying your head in the sand. Surely something will change if you just do the same thing next time.
No we should all spread hatred of Democrats since that was so fucking helpful this time.
Nobody's advocating for that, but people like you were surely shoving lots of hatred themselves, for what good that did. It's funny that even after achieving this result, you're still just doubling down on spreading hate instead of having a bit of self-reflection for once.
I tagged you appropriately long ago. You're showing you earned it
So you like labelling people rather than know who they are personally? That will surely show people that you treat others that don't agree 100% with you like a human and that you don't just sow division everywhere you go.
I like avoiding wasting my time on bad faith discussions with people I abhor
Then, stop wasting your time. Why do you keep replying like you can't help yourself? It's not a good way to cope with the election results. Let's both just stop this and find a better way to deal with this nightmare of a scenario.
Finally, something I can agree with
