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.

Good job everyone who sat out or voted 3rd party this election. You saved Palestine!
I dont think those protest voters were significant, people just think "food didnt get cheaper" and didnt felt like voting anymore. Thats your average voter mindset.
The jump in searches for "who is running for president" the day of the election tells you all you need to know about the average American voter.
My heart sank when I read about this. How?! Were these people in a coma for the last few months?
It's funny how they consider they had massive impact until there are consequences to their actions. Then, it wasn't much.
I don't think anyone sincerely believed that protest voters were ever going to have a significant impact. I think all of the noise you heard was astroturf designed to knock Harris from both sides of the Israel political position.
At most it cost her Michigan. There were deeper issues with the campaign.
Apparently, food did get cheaper.
Thanks BIDEN (you know, the current POTUS).
Yet, after the election.
But, yes, it happened under Biden's presidency, Biden should get the credit.
While ignoring that for most people, their purchasing power also went up.
They want to pay pre-pandemic prices for food while making post-pandemic paychecks, and there's no way that's going to happen without guillotines. So instead they voted in the wealthy assholes who directly caused COVID and indirectly caused inflation/greedflation because surely those people won't do that again, right?
this article is from 2015
Do you really think he changed his stance since then?
He's also the new US ambassador to Israel. That's from 2 hours ago.
I'm sure he's a kinder, gentler Huckabee nowadays.
Joe Biden is still president and over 200 children were slaughtered since the election. Tomorrow is the deadline he gave Israel for letting aid into the north of Gaza, but he will not enforce it because he also believes that there are no such thing as Palestinians and that they should die, leave or live as subjects to Jews so that Israel can annex all territory the Bible grants it.
