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.

That's a nice excuse to give up and let fascists drag your neighbours off to El Salvador.
Land of the Free. Home of the Brave. Yet here you are whining "but it's haaarrrrddd". Fucking grow up. It's called a fight for freedom for a reason. It's not easy.
It's the war cry of the subservient American citizen! Look this little one is out here all on its own. Remarkable.
So nothing then. Thought so. Every attack is an admission of cowardice.
Since it's so important what I'm doing... I mean I'm not American so not yet under the reign of an uneducated neppo baby, felon and crazed dictator but here goes.
I voted. Just a slight reprieve for us though. I am organized with local mutual aid organizations. I have collected all the advanced medical supplies I can afford because I am trained to use them but disabled so on limited income. I've sighted the .303 and the 12 gauge and filled shells. I've collected all the new gear I can and made sure my old beater farm truck and old ATV have oil changes and good tires. I have also organized with like minded Canadians worried about American military incursion into Canada upon your dictator repeatedly claiming he wished to annex us. We grow our own food and bring anything extra we may have to local families in need like us which helps us organize locally with those who need the most assistance resisting. We barter outside the monetary system whenever we can as opposed to feeding corporations, banks and oligarch's whims. I protest and organize my fellow citizens in multiple platforms to resist and stand up to unconstitutional and authoritarian laws that are being passed in my country. I tried offering suggestions as to what you in murica a can do but I am just met with excuses and hatred as usual. And the cries of the passive. "They'll massacre us", "I can't NOT go to work", "the politicians need to save us"....
Your turn.
So let me get this right, I am not permitted an opinion even though your drumphkins affects my country with his actions daily? He has increased the costs of everything for my family and forced us to boycott all American goods for many reasons including economic warfare against my country. He has also threatened to annex us for our natural resources repeatedly. That's military action.
My family is affected daily by your trump bullshit. How am I upsetting you because I am not permitted an opinion? That is such an american exceptionalism argument it's fucked. Only my felon fuckwad affects me. It doesn't cross all thos imaginary lines on maps so no one else has any say.
You'll never garner support outside your country, which right now you desperately need to help organize yourselves by treating "outsiders" like your regime treats immigrants. Don't look now but it makes you a whole hell of a lot like them.
Ditto.
You're bad at reading comprehension.
Lots of people are willing to foment civil war part 2 but very few are willing to fight in it.
It's kinda like how most Americans think that it would be better for the country if more people worked in factories, but none of those same people polled want to work in the factories themselves.
Give me a factory job please. Give me a 9-5 with health insurance that pays me enough to live.
Sorry, this is America. Best we can do is starvation wages with unpredictable hours.
Yeah, I dunno. I never worked in one myself and I don't want to. But I also wouldn't be going around talking about what a great thing it would be if everyone worked in factories so 🤷.
You either fight for your democracy or your lose it. That's the situation you're in, whether you like it or not.
Saying crap like this is defeatist and putting down people willing to fight and who call for others to do the same is helping the fascists. Which side are you on? It's your choice.
By putting down people who want to defend their freedom, you are siding with the fascists. You've made your decision.
That isn't what that meant lol
Still bad at reading comprehension
