You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.

People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

          you’re either terribly uninformed or willfully ignorant. lack of transportation, accommodation, childcare, time off work, current identification all contribute. gerrymandering minimizes the effects of successfully voting as well.

          also, you’re not helping anything.

          I’m talking about right now. The present. Millions of people actively protesting in the present is not good enough for you.

          Yup, the election was a huge fuck up. It’s already happened and over with. What would you prefer people doright now? Bitch on Lemmy that people fucked up in the past instead of actually doing something?

            5 million middle class, old ass boomers vs what? 77 million voters?

            Yeah you bet it’s not good enough

      Who do I vote for to put insurrections in prison? Democrats showed it wouldn’t be them and clearly Republicans won’t. So who, I ask, should I have I voted for that would have prevented this.

        I don’t think voting really does much, but voting for a third party is probably a good place to start.

      Sure it would, they should have a vote right now. And not the kind of vote where people in the States with lower population get more say.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
