politics
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!

@stringere @Jhex
Your 'viable social safety net', for now, is community.
And community forms where you meet people.
At rallies and marches.
or you can give up and lie down, and maybe start an only fans to pay the bills.
So...like at a No Kings rally where I've been networking with organizers? But Jhex said those are useless? Now I don't know who to believe. Guess I'll just go fill out my ICE application and hope for the best.
yes, those are useless on weekends
you should have reached that conclusion when your mad king sent the vid of himself, as a king, literalny shitting on the march
And again, your criticism is coming from your place of privilege. Most of us are one missed day of work from being fired and one missed payment from homelessness.
Take your completely useless critique and leave the conversation to those of us actually doing something other than victim blame from outside the struggle.
Have you guys considered asking for foreign aid to fund a general strike? I am sure the rest of the world would be happy to support opposition to the trump regime.
That is a brilliant idea. I'll bring it up with those I know who can lend some more legitimacy than me just doing a kickstarter.
Edit to add: thank you.
You are welcome :>
Could you keep me updated? I would like to know if this will work
I will try to remember. Saving your comment to revisit later.
👍
you are focusing on the wrong thing here…
if you go to school, your teacher preaches from a position of priviledge, does that render the lesson wrong?
if you point me the way of anyone not wasting their time, I'd be happy to
The only one wasting time is you wasting mine.
Right. You famously cannot organize on the weekends.
you can bud but the regime clearly ignores you and nothinc is achieved…
do you think labour strikes would work if workers do it on weekends???
the stalling of the economic activity is what gives these moves any power… it's really not hard to understand
