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.

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.

He literally warned you he was going to do this. He warned you in the debate with Kamala, on national television. Did people not believe him?
Where are all those "Genocide Joe and Kamala" people now, hmm? Just disappeared back into the woodwork?
Blaming the voters is a braindead take, Dems are supposed to win votes, they aren’t owed votes.
Biden and Kamala are genocidal monsters, and many Dems rightfully demanded better of their “representatives.” Many of these voters still voted for Kamala, even if it made them sick, because of how plainly tyrannical the Trump regime is.
And guess what? Dems still lost because they are so beholden to the rich that they offered nothing to the working class. That’s a shit strategy for winning an election, and it showed with their stunning and pathetic defeat.
Jesus. If you helped get Trump elected, either as a non-voter or voter, you bear responsibility for the current presidency. If you need a national political organization to tell you what's right and wrong, you're part of the problem.
Edit: you're
I think the "offered nothing to the working class" part was a much bigger factor than the "genocidal monsters" part in the Democrats' loss, but otherwise, I agree.
And sprinting right on immigration policies
I mean no it isn't bit blaming the voters is stupid. You voted for this of just said ehh I don't care. The people allowed this not the Democrats not the republicans the people. You live in a democracy and people couldn't even vote. I mean Americans are lazy maybe they just do want a king so they don't have to get out and vite every two years. Can you imagine how many McDonalds cheeseburgers you could eat in that time.
Well. Blaming the non-voters is a brain-dead take. Blaming the voters, specifically those that voted Republican, is pretty sensible.
No it's not.
Well, that checks all the talking points. It’s bullshit though.
