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!

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.
