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.

Not only are we in the worst timeline....
I actually don't have anything to add.
How did we get here? And even more terrifying how many people that actually went to go vote were surprised that Biden wasn't on the ticket?!?!
And let me just go ahead and get myself in trouble. Fuck you every single person that didn't vote for Kamala Harris that was eligible.
SPECIFICALLY...
Well I guess I don't want to get in trouble that bad.
Yes, this is the fucking bullshit we live with. Due to our winner-take-all insanely backwards system....
I'm not technically allowed to properly criticize whomever didn't show up to the polls.
Whatever groups they may or may not belong to.
Yeah I'm sounding like a motherfucking Maga bitch right now.....
But guess what Arab Americans and black men??!?!!? ( if and only if those are demographics that didn't show up to vote )
Get completely and totally fucked by the Trump administration. Has nothing to do with me and everything do with them
Edit:
For what it's worth I'm terribly sorry for not including the Latino vote that went to Trump
Ultimately it doesn't really matter which particular demographic I blame because the truth is I'm not blaming anyone in particular.
Fuck America, fuck me, and fuck Trump
And there it is, the fascist.
Really weird how everything liberals accuse leftists of is a projection.
lmao scratched liberal moment.
Why not blame whites, both men and women, who actually voted for Trump, despite the dems abandoning their base to appeal to them?
It's everyone's fault. We both know it.
Btw i specifically said : anyone not voting for Harris. Including POSSIBLY those demographics
How did we get here? Kamala didnt go on joe rogan thats how.
We got here because our candidate was someone who never won or placed well in a presidential primary.
The corporate interests couldnt risk bernie winning a primary
Bernie was a threat and that's why he lost. Anyone who wants to help people in society are inherently against the corpse interests that have everyone under lock and key.
Harris was such a bad candidate. Lost 2020, somehow went "I can excuse Biden's racist policies that hurt me, that I publicly stated in a debate against Biden", and then just did nothing note worthy as VP.
And then Biden stayed in past the (shit) primaries, went out in his own terms instead of listening to the public. So now Harris has less time to plan and figure out what works.
And then she just ignored what people wanted and gave Republicans answers.
Oh yeah, blame the black and brown people for seeing genocide as a red line in who to vote for. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
Thank God Palestine is saved and all will be well there forever now huh
You are pushed from the 50th floor or the 100th floor. Doesn’t matter. You die the same.
Put yourself in a position where you get fucked just the same regardless of who you vote then you don’t have any incentive to vote at all.
I am not American so I say this as a neutral observing party that you guys tried to bully the Arab Americans into voting for dems and that dishonest plea by John Oliver that was actually insulting. Dems don’t have balls to take a side and then expect votes from all sides.
One of the most idiotic takes I've read yet. Palestine was not the one and only thing that was at stake, and Harris was still markedly less bad. Anyone who couldn't see that isn't intelligent enough to be voting.
This is for all those who are blaming Arab Americans saying Harris was “less bad” when in reality “less bad” means just as dead.
You are pushed from the 10th floor some time in the next week, or you are pushed from the 10th floor immediately and shot after impact.
Which is better?
Why did you reduce the floors? I wouldn’t mind getting shot after being pushed from the 50th floor though. Will be more pissed about falling then being shot at.
It was always a lost cause tbh
No of course we cannot blame voters for staying home. They had a gun to their head. On the plus side, Palestine has been SAVED! ❤️❤️❤️
Palestine was fucked regardless. Atleast one party was honest about it.
Which one was that?
Holy shit, that's a great quote. Imma start saying that!
