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!

Look buddy, you don't get it. I understand that you don't want chlamidya, but if you don't want gonorrhea you're going to have to make some though choices ok? And if not well it'll be you're fault were all getting chlamidya. Anyway, just one more vote bro, this is the most important election ever I swear! We'll fix it this time, I swear!


Man these right-wingers are annoying. I thought it would be better here on Lemmy than it used to be on Reddit, but I guess standard issue Americans are everywhere :/

You can either have AIDS, or else this milkshake that also has some rocks in it.

FTFY

Lol I got upvote for this. I don't think the Democrats understand that they are the right-wingers in my comment. Not the sharpest tools in the shed. Zero self awareness.

Back in real life, your lame attempt at sarcasm or whatever is pretty apparent. The usual “OMG I’m so left wing that we should get Trump elected” bullshit.

[–] wildbus8979 -5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

So apparent that before I pointed it out I was sitting at +10. Like I said not the sharpest tool in the shed. But also despicable.

Literally no leftists wants Trump to get elected. We just think you're doing it to yourselves. He is a natural consequence of your continued support for this system.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Ah yes, telling me I am “despicable” is a solid tactic.

Sitting out from the electoral process or supporting futile 3rd party candidates isn’t going to work either. We’re not going to change the system as 3% of the population, sorry. Pushing for better Democratic candidates and urging voting reform so that 3rd party candidates are viable is the only way I see forward. Certainly not wanking off over negative sarcastic bullshit on Lemmy, but I suppose you know better.

50 years of the 'lesser evil' that's grown so large and they can't stand the monster they helped create

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Vs doing what? This shit is so unrealistic.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The typical liberal solution is keep feeding the monster they created

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

True leftists in the US are not present in numbers large enough to even remotely have a choice. This shit was going on well before I was born, personally.

On second thought, I'm not even sure what your dramatic statement is supposed to mean. What monster are you referring to? Biden not being progressive enough or something?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

They're referring to Trump being the monster we created. Guy thinks he's enlightened, lol.
