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!

At least the headline is honest about it being a fascist dictatorship
Because it's not a mainstream media outlet
It's good, but I really wonder where all those people were during the last election.
You really think of all the people that would get off the couch, it's abstainers? That sounds illogical
I mean, a few million nationwide is high numbers to get for a protest, but not for a presidential election, with the size of the US anyway. I'd bet most of them probably voted. It's the more politically engaged segment of a population that one would expect to show up to a protest, after all.
OH, I’m NoT ReaLly a PoLiTiCAL PeRSon aCTualLy
With the way the U.S. electoral system is set up, the vast majority likely voted but did not live in one of the critical swing states, so their vote didn't matter.
About 90 million: ‘My vote doesn’t matter’
e: bad %. It was actually much higher
Somewhere around 4-5 million Americans can’t vote even if they wanted to due to previous felony convictions.
The votes don’t matter in the majority of states.
In many of those states, if a fraction of the percentage that doesn’t vote did, it would matter. The numbers that’s based on (marginal percentages of known, reliable voters) mean the opposition party can’t unseat them, but in many cases, the doesn’t vote percentage absolutely can. Unfortunately a majority of eligible voters in those areas don’t vote for a variety of reasons, and that’s exactly why some people spend stupid amounts of money convincing you there’s no point in voting.
That works only on a hypothetical situation with no feedback loop. For example, whenever Texas is becoming competitive, Republicans invest more in turnout and they avoid the upset.
I was there and voted my dick off to keep this asshole out of office
I found a dick in the voting booth. You have a Prince Albert by any chance?
That one is your mom’s. She too voted her dick off.
Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!
