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!

That 48% makes me so fucking sad...
It’s mostly kids mimicking their parents feelings. Which is not the MOST sad. But still not great.
I think this is much sadder than just the parents thinking like this. Kids should get to be kids and start their lives unencumbered by their parents' hatred and bitterness.
Unfortunately kids are born with all the sins our world already bares. We can wish and hope for them to be free of the. But that is not reality. No matter what what's happening is happening and will affect them. We must be better about giving them that world actively and preparing them as needed to be adults in this world.
It's 48% sad.
Hmmm. And what do you think happens when those kids grow up? Let's connect the dots, eh?
Well, in 4th grade, I would have gone with Bush. I've deviated quite far from that.
Kids become their own people. It’s anybody’s guess as to what they do.
Yeah, my dad is a Trumper, and he can go fuck himself.
Yeah, fuck yo dad.
I don't know, but I'm sure someone will sell them an assualt rifle with unlimited ammunition.
Unlimited? Ammunition is actually quite expensive.
Had some people in a duel enrollment (collage level) class tell me last Friday that they'd vote for trump because "he's an asshole but I like his policies"
Don't worry, at the collage level they're just bringing a bunch of pictures together
that's actually so funny I'm not gonna fix it lol
They are really fighting for it.
Yeah I mean.... his policies are asshole policies it isn't really the dodge they think it is.
"What policies?"
So who won the fight? What about at the watercolor level?
Let's just say it looked like a Jackson Pollock by the end.
Don't let them fool you, they are voting for him because he's an asshole and they are assholes like them. It's an epidemic in the US.
