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!

Nah fuck that
We dont need traitors in the mindst. Why would you allow traitors into your resistance. We don't need the trumpers to take back america. There's more of us then there is of those traitor fucks.
They are Nazis. Plain and simple see them everyday in Florida with their Trump stickers and nazi flags.
I highly doubt this. Sure, there are more people opposed to Trump than there are Trump supporters. But Trump supporters are more cohesive and easier to mobilize. When it comes to getting people off the couch - particularly to achieve goals through violence - I expect you'd be outnumbered at least 3 to 1.
This is how you lose. If you don't allow people who wake up and turn away from the naziism a chance to do so, you've stupidly removed the opportunity for there to be fewer Nazis
Last I checked it took a world war to stop the Nazis but go on.
Il see yall during the revolution.
Curb your extremism.
They aren't "traitors". Many of them fell for propaganda. Do you unironically believe that parents are voting for trump when they know their parents will be deported? Do you think that illegal migrants will vote for trump when they know they will be deported?
Stop with your edgy hardliner attitude. This is how you create rifts in society.
They are traitors.....they voted for a traitor???
Did Trump bot steal top secret documents?
Did Trump not commit sedition?
Did Trump not fill his cabinet with Russian agents?
Traitors. Including you for defending them.
And to answer your questions yes you idiot Trump said he was gonna do all those things and the very same people voted for him still. Shows the racism and bigotry of this country.
So fuck you.
Probably did all that, but that's not what he's marketing it as. I don't think you understand how voting works for many people - they don't watch every a politician says or does, they watch the stuff that is shown on TV, read a few flyers and that's it.
I'm not defending anyone. I'm telling you that your shitty attitude and your wannabe edgy 16-year old "IM NEVER GOING TO FORGIVE THEEEEM!!!!!11" is not helping turning the situation in the slightest.
Also, I'm not american. Can't really be a traitor to a country I don't belong to.
Okay, then please riddle me this - why would an undocumented immigrant vote for someone that is publicly announcing he wants to kick them out? Maybe because he phrased it in a way that implied that it's not going to affect them?
No, it shows that elections in america are more of a entertainment show than a political event.
No you.
Sure they voted for a traitor, but where do you want democrats to look for votes? The left?
