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 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.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
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.
That's all the rules!

What’s this “we” assertion bullshit?
the election was hacked and stolen…
Unfortunately I don't believe it was. Go on Next door some time and you'll see why.
not sure what state you’re in but:
a) russian trolls can post on next door too.
b) election truth alliance
Florida and the people I've seen are real. Really stupid.
How many times did you let Florida Man vote?
Too god damned many.
Florida is certainly chock full of stupid people.
i think nextdoor tends to concentrate a certain type of person
it was. Election Truth Alliance has some compelling public data.
To the extent of discounting Muslims, latinos, white people, and non voting or third party voting tankies???
I want to believe as much as the next person that this was a fully successful voter fraud, but Americans are truly that sexist against women and tankies are adamant, even now, that Gaza is the hill they want to die on.
please look at the publicly available data. all i’m asking. check out what they are presenting.
That's to say nothing for the idea that if the election WERE stolen, it would be an uncharacteristic display of technical competence the likes of which we've never seen from this administration before or since.
nobody said the Trump administration was behind it and people like the ETA don’t make guesses. the information is clear: the election’s data was manipulated.
Election fraud, not voter fraud. There's a difference.
Namely, voter fraud is thing Republicans falsely accuse the Democrats of in order to deflect from the election fraud they're actually committing.
Online aside, I meet plenty of MAGA out in the wild.
Crickey!!!
What is it the kids say? ‘Cope.’ Just like us in the UK after Brexit, you need to just face up to who you really are as a country. You re-elected Trump in free and fair elections after Jan 6th and Georgia. We voted to leave the strongest most influential trading block in the world because we’re idiots. Face it, accept it, start to fight it.
nice brand new account talking only about how bad the us and uk are, with zero other interests.
fuck off
Funny how when it's Russia, every Russian must suffer for not overthrowing Putin, but when it's the US, suddenly “oh no, it wasn't me”.
Americans when a dictatorship with no free elections invades another country: "It's the people's fault! Just revolt and take him down!"
Americans when their democratically elected leader commits the worst imaginable atrocities for the 50th time in a row: "It's- It's not our fault. We voted for the other, slightly less fascist candidate! What else can we do?"
All the freedom. Zero responsibilities. That's what 200 years of no public education does to a nation.
