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!

Sent this to my mother, who probably thinks I’m full of hyperbole when I talk about how we’re seen around the world.
It's like 4 countries, calm your tits
I'm sorry, do you normally see people protesting leadership in other countries when they get elected? Perhaps I didn't notice that Americans were out in droves protesting the election of Kier Starmer. /s
Starmer is a shitbag, btw. I'm not trying to support him with the above comment.
Yes? Lots of people marching together, worldwide protested Nicolas Maduro, venezuelan dictator, after stealing the elections and declaring himself the winner
After Obama and Biden got elected, they also got protests in all south America and Russia if I remember correctly
After the Iranian elections, there were massive protests worldwide as well.
After da Silva and Bolsonaro got elected in Brazil, they also got worldwide protests.
Same with Bukele in el Salvador, same with Milei in Argentina. Same with Netanyahu and Palestine.
Maybe there is people living abroad who are still citizens and care about the country? Or people who just don't plain agree. But there are.
It's not something new, certainly not abnormal , obviously not all countries protesting, but it happens. Still, it's not like the whole planet is protesting against them. People have shit to do
I guess I was uninformed. Thanks.
