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!

In the 60's someone with ties to KGB would be arrested (and death sentence) for treason, now it can be president and no one does anything
It’s worst than that.
Not only no one does anything but the majority of American voters voted for the guy.
A plurality, not a majority.
He may only have been short of the majority by a fraction of a percent, but no sense in giving him any more credit than is due or contributing to the myth of a mandate.
Spanish and pro-Palestine people voted for him, the same ones getting deported and shocked for no giving a fuck about Gaza.
It's like jews voting for Hitler, after him repeatedly said that they are the problem
Classic blaming your follow voter who are struggling instead of the government structure, laws and congress who did nothing about it while making money of it. Or the media, or the billionaire class.
If our fellow ‘voters’ voted we wouldn’t be in this mess.
I'm not even american or live in USA, im from Europe and it's a shitshow seen all this.
Europe is getting screwed with Trump, Putin is getting a free card to do whatever he want.
There was a time when Europe and USA where closed alies now USA are being seen as the enemy.
BTW I vote on every elections, never on extreme left or right, unlike USA we have a proper democracy with multiple parties to vote
PS: We have send politicians to jail or remove then from power for much less
No, the machines were likely rigged in the swing states. Needs some forensic analysis to confirm.
You sound like the Republicans saying Biden didn’t win.
Accept it and help the country be better for the next election.
Everything else they accuse others of doing just turn out to be things they are doing themselves. So why would this be any different?
Because no one has found proof of election fraud.
Did they also rig AOC's district? Because there were a number of voters who voted for both her and Trump.
That's exactly the GOP playbook you are parroting.
They took ownership of 'election integrity', but it turns out it was just part of the big lie.
There hasn’t been any proof of fraud in 2024 enough to change the outcome of the election.
Correct, and we need audits. Funny the margin of victory in each of the swing states was just outside the automatic recount margin.
Here's some interesting looks at it: Nathan Explains "Russian Tail" In Clark County Nevada 2024 Voting Data (Election Truth Alliance) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDWwLDejg8Y

Why don’t you call Cyber Ninjas or Mike Lindell?
They have some experience with election audits.
Smells like bait.
I suppose it would help the Russians to get the left to buy into some disinformation. Then you can later call it out and use that example to discredit Russia's election influence.
If they rigged the election, they rigged it everywhere, in nearly every county throughout the United States. I don't think they're capable of that.
Shut up.
In a way it's a credit to your democracy, for whatever consolation that brings.
