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.

Every time I see headlines like this I think:
He told us he would ruin it. For months. He signed the plans to ruin it weeks ago. He's been organizing teams of people to fuck it up starting a few days ago. Canada has been not only openly reporting on this as a major issue but even going so far as to run advertisements on Fox News informing people about it, but people only start to fucking notice it after the fact, like this really blindsides the majority of Americans!? Buffoons!
As a Canadian it is god damn terrifying. I can't imagine what it's like to be a US citizen under the control of a dictator right now. Watching your fellow citizens be sent to death camps along with lots and lots of other people just unfortunate enough to be brown, tattooed, born in the wrong place or a woman who fights for immigrant rights.
Then the racists cheer and heil Hitler.
It's crazyness but it's been brewing for a very long time. Hopefully it wakes up lots of my fellow Canadians so we don't end up in the same place you are.
VOTE!
It sucks ass bro.
straight up not having a good time
Exhausting. Trumps second term is making his first look like a holiday. It's so bad it is hard to find words to talk about it because there is just so much to talk about.
Voted for Carney from Colorado, heres hoping..
Keep your head down fellow Canadian and thank you for doing your civic duty.
Well you can kind of relate because Canada were no saints to the native americans: politicians and officials were apologizing for that as recent as 2015 as the 2008-2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada reported on the century of abuse and mass graves of children.
But yes, it's all awful and we need to stop it immediately.
That's bullshit. Take your lumps.
Our government is still fucking the Natives today. No doubt about that. You'll get no argument from me. They're ignoring supreme Court rulings and acting like dictators when it comes to the native population in our country since before it's inception. Truth and reconciliation is a lie! If they wanted those things they wouldn't still actively repress the population, keep them poor, sick and seen as second class citizens as well actively pursue continual court cases to avoid representing the native population in any way. See dental care for northern native and Inuit children as an example.
Right now they're attacking their fishery in the east coast enshrined by law that they ignore since 1999. All parties. No one has done shit about it. They keep them oppressed and fighting with the local population to ensure no action is mounted against the government. Fascist fucks all of them. That's just one issue in an ocean of issues.
However....IF YOU'RE CANADIAN, GO VOTE!....in order to correct our mistakes as a population we need to avoid the admitted fascist in our race for PM.
It's not whataboutism to call out the lie "I can't imagine MY country doing [thing it had done for over a century]."
I'm kind of a stickler about accuracy and nuance.
Fair. I'll remove it. If you're American could you do the same for your dictator please.
On it.
Chop chop. It's a problem for more than just you but we have no way to change it.
I mean isn't this pretty much how people are now? Refusing to heed any warnings until it's too late. Complaining that everything sucks after ignoring said warnings, and then instantly forgetting anything ever happened the millisecond the trouble passes.
