More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.

    This is the reason. In our fucked up country, Trump, a rapist convicted felon, has a legitimate chance of winning the presidency.

      Why is our country fucked up? Because you think we should be a one party system? The Left has been doing everything and anything to stop Trump from running for President. But that doesn’t matter right? I mean, isn’t that what it really comes down too? Every time I come on this site, it’s about “get rid of the Republicans!!!” For what? So we all vote ONE way and have ONE belief? Isn’t that was communism is?

        Im not from America but even from an outside Perspective America is fucked up. Its the definition of a capitalistic hellscape. Meanwhile an old senile rapist is running for president threatening to remove the last bits of functional democracy and imprisoning everyone he doesn’t like and he has a legitimate chance of winning. Somewhere about 50% of the entire American population actually wants to see democracy being destroyed and people getting imprisoned unlawfully. Also Theres the problem of America being divided as fuck. Republican hardlibers being willing to kill family members because they voted blue(saw a post about someone describing this today), and Nazis being able to walk on the streets without having to fear anything. America is fucked up in so many different ways that I can’t even remember all of them right now and this will only become worse if Trump gets reelected.

        Every time I come on this site, it’s about “get rid of the Republicans!!!”

        This is not a “both sides” thing. One side is actively trying to kill people.

        If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

        I don’t know about you but I’m not okay with that and I am personally okay with defending my vote, by violence if absolutely necessary.
