Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Yeah, well fuck you, can't wait until Trump guts the program to you hypocritical, racist assholes. All those juicy projects that help the environment to help your dumb racists asses out using my tax payer money can burn for all I care.

Fuck you, idiot clowns. Much like the abortion issue, you don’t get to have your cake and eat it too. Everything is on the chopping block.

But “economic anxiety”. Yeah sure bubs. Nice to see you elected a traitor, a rapist, a fraudster, a racist, a failed businessman who bankrupted a CASINO

100% of what voters want no longer matters. Trump is our king and dictator now. This country has handed over the senate, the presidency, and possibly even the popular vote to him. America has said, full heartedly "Yes Mr Trump, we want your particular brand of bullshit. We love it. You make the rules, and we'll lick your butthole!"

This is the world we live in.

So when these 78% of people who support Bidens policys don't get what they claim to support, I want you all to remember. You played the election like a sports league. You supported your team. You discarded all of the problems with the teams players. You just put on that red hat, with white text, and said "GO SPORTS!!!"

This is the result. You did this America. You did this.

Is there even any question he wins the popular vote? Incidentally, it's worth noting that Trump is likely to end up with roughly the same amount of votes as he did against Biden in 2020. It's just that Harris will end up with like 12 million less than Biden got.

They don't even understand. These are the same people that love the Affordable Care Act but hate Obamacare.

I'm going to remind the Trump supporters I know every fucking day that they voted for this when it hurts then

Yet, they much rather vote for someone that’s completely against their interests. Fucking Clowns.

Unfortunately, this particular leopard will eat everyone's face.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, the leopard typically does. That's the point of the leopard eating faces meme.

but they hate immigrants more

[–] [email protected] 113 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Not really immigrants. That's just the dog-whistle. It's minorities of every kind they hate.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right. White immigrants are fine. They just don’t want brown people from “shithole nations.”

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And white isn't even concisely labeled. Italians and Irish used to not be white for a time.

We're gonna see how far they can stretch the label of immigrants, too. Born in the US to foreign parents? Back on the boat with you.

I have seen a youtube video where a woman who weighs roughly 400lbs is riding on one of those mobility scooters in home depot, and yelling at another woman to "GO BACK TO CHINA!!!" to which the woman replies "M'am, I'm Native American", and the woman yells "I DON'T CARE WHATCHU IS!!! GET OUTTA MY COUNTRY, AND GO BACK HOME!!!"

Zero hint of humor, or irony, or brain cells in that one.

Just like this Idaho state senator who told his American Indian opponent, "I'm so sick and tired of this liberal bullshit. Why don't you go back to where you came from?"

I guess they'll be disappointed

It doesn't matter. He won't be willing to extend any programs from the Biden administration just because.
