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!

When you realize memes shouldn't have influence on your voting decision...

Well, maybe the second amendment people can do something about it.

This is all bullshit, designed to start another wave of outrage. Even after the election, we've gotta have more stuff to rage about. News these days is just rage all day every day, no matter what.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I've said it the whole election cycle. The news downplayed every Trump gaffe because they wanted him back to fuel the outrage click machine. They wanted that sweet revenue back after 4 boring years of Biden just ya know doing his fucking job.

I had to have new anxiety meds called in because all of the political stuff is sending me into panic attacks. I've been avoiding politics as much as possible since the day after the election because it causes so much anxiety.

This post caught my attention and decided to look at it despite my anxiety

I don’t know how trustworthy these search trends are. For example if you type in “where did I put my” it will complete all kinds of stuff like “keys” and “wallet” and “passport” which seems to imply that people are regularly asking Google where they placed items in their own house.

The searches spike after every election and this one was no different than any other year.

Compared to shrimp scampi, an example search I stole from another thread on this topic, it's pretty clear the searches are meaningless and not tied to this particular result.

Suggested search queries have gone down the toilet since llms became a things

To own the libs, they sold their soul.

You broke it, you bought it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm willing to give a redo in this case

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I tried to buy the other one because I didn’t want the broken one. Still stuck buying the broken one.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah except we're all going to pay.

America even does socialism the worst
