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!

MODERATORS
This is Ozma. They're known for heavy bias and axe grinding. It attacks Democrats and that's what was important to them. Not factualness or logic.
People trying like crazy to push all the blame on Democrats and Harris. Because after all. If they only did this one magic thing they would never lose. Right? It's freaking magic. How could they lose.
Don't get me wrong. Democrats absolutely deserve some blame. But I'm sure all the people that spent the whole general shouting that "they're both the same", "blue maga", "genocide Joe/Harris" surely couldn't have disenfranchised and demotivated people to stay home. They all got played and are trying to absolve themselves.

Also a lot of Kremlin statements around this election seemingly boasting that they hacked machines.
Rejected a woman and womens rights.
TWICE
Which is weird because:
Arizona - Right to Abortion. Yes 61 to 39
Colorado - Right to Abortion. Yes 62 to 38
Florida - Right to Abortion. No 43 to 57 - Needed Yes >= 60 to pass.
Maryland - Right to Abortion. Yes 74 to 26
Missouri - Right to Abortion. Yes 52 to 48
Montana - Right to Abortion. Yes 58 to 42
Nebraska - Right to Abortion. No 52 to 48
Nebraska - Prohibit abortions after 1st Trimester - Yes 55 to 45
Nevada - Right to Abortion. Yes 64 to 36
New York - Right to Abortion. Yes 62 to 38
South Dakota - Right to Abortion. No 59 to 41
Except for Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota, looks like people do support womens rights.
They do, but as a Missourian. I can 100% say they have no clue about how to do it. Legalizing abortion again, but electing the man that will get it nationally banned. It may be largely willful ignorance and apathy. But that doesn't mean it can't also be sexism and misogynistic attitudes too. They can support their personal right to choose but not give a damn about anyone else. After all there were Nazi jews. I have little doubt there are misogynistic women. For some of them it's about there personal rights. Cognitive dissonance makes it for some really f***** up situations.
Hey Florida got more than 50%, 3 other states would have banned abortion if they had the same % to win. Even the case to change it to 60% to win... got 57% support.
The whole "voters rejected a woman of color" thing is because the party wants an excuse to shut down an AOC run.
