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!

That's pedantic. They won the trifecta of government. The definition of landslide is academic at this point.
the point is to wake us up to that our resistance coalitions needn't be small
Good luck with that. The last chance for an organized resistance was the 90's before we put in mass surveillance. It's game set and match at this point. The only chance now is maybe the hardcore blue states succeed, but that didn't end well last time either.
the best time was 25 years ago. the second best time is right now. it's a lot like planting a tree.
A resistance coalition isn't insurrection when it's a left leaning coalition.
The "resistance" is ineffective and fractured because its supposed leaders are largely genocidal.
who? name names. who are these resistance leaders aiding in genocide. and don't say joe biden. if you say joe biden you don't understand what we're talking about.
this is a decentralized movement of care. any weakness we have is that we're uncoordinated because we lack any leadership
It might only be pedantic/academic if the term was only being used in an educational setting. Instead, it's bandied about nearly every day since the election, and it does need to stop.
It's not academic, it's relative to the various examples he cites in the article
