Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

So, I always thought it was just a mean bully thing to say, but, as a group, Americans really are dumber than a bag of rocks.
It’s not just Americans buddy. Open your eyes.
Lots of countries are stupid, but not that many have >50% of their population be that incredibly stupid. Usually it's closer to 20-30%. America takes the gold though.
Must be nice to live in a world where you think USA is the only country to elect a moron. I’m Canadian as well. Just wait.
Yep. This cluster fuck all but guaranteed our political dick-pendulum will swing right very shortly.
It’s been swinging right since about 2012, worldwide. This is a symptom of that disease. The world has been falling more and more to right wing authoritarian fear mongering and xenophobia. Across Europe, the South Pacific, South America, Africa. Literally every continent has been swinging to the right and flirting with that doomsday trend of falling to fascist takeovers every, like, 80 years or so. And it’s back. Like some fucking cancer you just can’t beat.
It's going to swing right all across the world. This win solidifies the U.S. as a fascist nation. All the money and resources that have gone into achieving that won't disappear, if anything there'll be more money available now.
This is the opening bell on a very dark age.
Look at Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, UK and Germany's AFD. Hate is potent political fuel that's burning hotter and hotter.
The Philippines elected the son of the most brutal dictator in their history. So im really not sure about that.
50% of voters isn't 50% of the population. It's closer to 20-25%
I used to be the guy who said things like: you can't just call a whole country stupid. Bush was bad, but mistakes happen. Okay, bush was bad, what makes you think his son is better? Got it, so you learned that he's not better. You voted a second time? Okay that's kinda stupid if you ask me. And now? What are you even supposed to say anymore? A bag of rocks can at least be hucked at some american
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Apparently 51% of us or more are far dumber than a bag of rocks.
Aaand have the worst aim possible when it's actually needed. USA is known for guns, ffs, you had so many chances >_>
We deserve to die. We really do. I wish my race was dead I wish my gender was dead. It's over
The real question is "if they are so stupid why did you lose?" Why didn't your superior intellect lead you to victory?
Because stupid people don't listen to logic or reasoning.
Good point. The stupids aligned with the evils on this one.
They are also american. The lead brain doesn't stop at the colour of their team
