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!

Revolution. You people dicked around so long that it’s now more dangerous. But it’s probably your only way out. You don’t get sympathy points from me for waiting too long. Do something or face criticism from the rest of the world. Simple as that.
Yes, that's what I'm asking for the details of how you do it. I don't know how to do a revolution. My assumption is that the people who confidently and definitely know that we're doing it wrong must have some idea how to do it right.
So again, how do I overthrow the US government?
"So long"? What's your threshold for a reasonable timeline for a revolution to start? he hasn't even been in office a full year.
Also, this is his second term of presidency. Also? If you think the issue is just that a democrat isn’t in office then you don’t actually understand the issue with the US.
The US is controlled by capitalist oligarchs, your Elite. It has been since before I was even born. When I say your people should have revolted long ago? I’m talking about decades ago. Long before Trump.
There are many things you can do to support positive change. Talk to your community. Work with local organizers. If you dont want to be put in a situation where you have to be violent? Fine, push for a general strike. There are groups in every municipality trying to do this, maybe start by trying to get in touch with your local IWW or union block. Just as one example.
US is a big country. Surely there are people who know what to do. Find them, support them. You don't have to be the leader.
Do I look under rocks for revolutionary leaders?
No, you use this crazy new underground networking system called the internet. Theres discords for like every niche ass party thats trying to do activism now. Its easy to even find MAGA Communists near you if you look for it, and if you can do that I’m pretty sure you can find anything to put yourself behind if you actually take the time and effort to do it.
