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!

Wong says he voted for Donald Trump because he vowed to bring down costs.

I get it. He’s a business owner same an immigrant who, ostensibly, did it the legal way. So he’s got a lot of pride. Person like that trusts Trump because he feels like he’s the kind of person Trump looks out for. The marketing and all that. He bought a product, hook line and sinker. Gobbled up the lies about how “Kamala” was gonna take his business or whatever.

Problem is, the reality the rest of us saw. Trump only cares about billionaires he owes favors to. This guy thought he was in, but he was never in. Thought he’d be living large, but he’s paying large like the rest of us. And learning the hard way that Trump hates immigrants, legal or otherwise.

Best case scenario, he teaches other people, helps turn the Sunshine State or at least his local community. You could call this guy a fool and you wouldn’t be wrong. Better to see him as a potential opportunity for change.

Besides them voting for Trump, another problem is that the big dogs like Kroger and Walmart have started stocking more international foods. Growing up in an Asian family through the 80’s, we waited for that care package from the homelands or we stuffed our return suitcases FULL of ingredients and left our clothes behind. It was the only easy way to get the flavors.
