Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

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.

Calm yourself, they aren't any closer to healing. They haven't changed anything. They haven't even showed that this will have any effect. The regime ignores the courts and congress, so this doesn't make any difference.
The US is still a regressing democracy and have an obvious and seriously dangerous fascist problem. They are not our allies.
Thanks Russia.
Let's thank Zelensky and Ukraine for taking out a bunch of internet troll infrastructure as well! They were part of winning this election.
This is the victim mentality that makes me say this.. muricans can't take responsibility, so they are not even close to healing.
Not everyone criticizing a fascist regime is a russian bot.
It's most important to remember that us Americans very well might have been okay with the corruption and fascism if the admin just weren't fucking stupid about it.
The fact that you guys reelected the most blatantly corrupt president you've ever had isn't forgotten by the rest of the world.
It will take a lot of work over a very long time for the USA to remove the stink of Trumpism.
Electing a few better politicians is step one. Let's see how effective they are able (or how willing) they will be to improve things.
And then let's see what the American people do in the next 2-3 elections.
We were cautiously optimistic when the Americans elected Biden, and we all know what happened 4 years later.
Look, this is them making an effort. Let's pat them on the back. They did well. There is still a lot of work to do, but today, let's just celebrate progress.
LORD KNOWS how much shit we give them, always, and always will, but let's be happy for our brothers and sisters that democracy prevailed one more election.
A threat to democracy anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere. Likewise, a victory for democracy anywhere is a victory for democracy everywhere. Tonight, democracy won.
Wooo! USA! USA! USA!
Yeah, it is a small victory, and I'm glad. I am basically just quoting Mamdani from last night - now is not the time to rest.
And he is absolutely GOD damned right. Strike while the iron is hot, this is exactly the time to go bustin caps in asses. But tonight... We celebrate and be merry. We have all gone through a lot over the past decade. We earned this.
I'm calm. I'm also very happy for the American people. They deserve a bit of peace and quiet after all the bullshit spews that constantly seem to go on forever, including yours. Be happy for them. Take the little wins and dance in the sun.
Trump gave me high blood pressure and I have to take pills now. I'm not joking. This thing has been so stressful for me over the past two years that I developed cardiovascular issues, I got the results today. I know the nightmare is not over, but at least now I feel like maybe at some point we'll wake up from it and have a few beers and laugh about the whole thing and go on living and try to fix ourselves and our planet together.
Tonight I dream.
They are too close to invading me and my allies to give them peace and quiet. They are dangerous. Now is not the time for rest.
I hear that.
