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.
- 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.
- 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!

Good.
Elaborate?
I hope he wins. Hell I’ll vote for him. Anything that speeds the collapse and frees minds. “Leftist” capitalists are ruining the entire planet. Vote for the bad guy. Hasten the fall.
Here, tag yourself in this square :
Ahh, black pilled. Don't feel hopeful, eh?
Dude has lost it and just want to watch the world burn. Sad, really. Hopefully he manages to get some much needed mental health help.
I know how he feels, some days. It's an extremely easy trap to fall into, and it's damned hard to get yourself back out of it. There really isn't much to be hopeful for right now. Most of the fucking morons are happy to let the world burn and take the rest of us with them. There's countless genocides. Barely any nature remaining. No prospects for the future, social events are still on life support because of covid, the list goes on.
It's really hard to find something, anything, that you can grab onto and pull yourself out of the bleak pit of nihilism. I find myself cheering for the natural disasters more and more, and I hate myself for that. But its hard not to hope that there is some natural balance to things that will start to assert itself. Maybe the world really can recover from this, if all the damn humans would just die off.
I'm lucky. My work lets me find some personal fulfillment in that I really am making a positive difference, and I have the data that demonstrates that. But its a small impact, and there's not many of me out there. And as burnt out as I am trying to fix what little I can... its hard some days. Really really hard. And before you dismiss that painfully cringe edgelord, spare a thought that there's no help to be had out there, for them or for me. We're both on our own. But, fuck em for being an edgy little shit. Doesnt really help anyone, least of all themselves.
Solar Eclipse. Do that (it's what I'm holding on to).
That's not a good thing.
Your mind isn't free, you are ignorant. Trump is not your saviour, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. You want to depose the financial elite, yet you lick the boots of the worst of them.
So edgy.
Go back to truth social mate. No ones buying your LARP
