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!

Oh you're the guy that doesn't understand dual citizenship (you called me out in a previous thread) . I can't stand 2ozma either so have an angry upvote.
To be clear : I just don't like being called a liar. My mom is American, I grew up in Italy.
I remember you. I understand dual citizenship just fine. You didn't bring it up until after i pointed out an inconsistency in your story. Not saying i don't believe you, it was just hard to believe that "American gun culture" was some kinda surprise to you, if you had been immersed in it.
Thank you. That does make sense as I didn't state it at the outset. I also understand that thread was a little heated and maybe I came off as a little confrontational. It seems every time he-who-shall-not-be-named is mentioned people lose their minds (and I understand why).
Hey everyone, check out these grown ups resolving their misunderstanding with reason and emotional maturity
ETA: teasing but sincerely found it wholesome, in case that wasn’t clear
Meanwhile, I'm on the frontpage daily and one of the users that creates top engagement for Lemmy.
Yes, you are a vociferous little propaganda birdy, I'll give ya that. Not really the flex you imagined, methinks.
Copying and pasting news article links is propaganda now?
Having a self admitted slant does. The only real changes I've noticed in how you post is you throw up chaff posts to obfuscate your intentions. I ain't buying it.
I've said many times already I hate the GOP and I hate the Dems. US politics is corporate owned.
On that, we agree. I actually agreed with you a lot when i first found Lemmy, but your method of conveying your message is shit.
They're a self admitted tech bro living in LA and they make 6 figures. They don't care about actual poor people living in worse areas, cuz their privileged ass will be fine smh
I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to get people talking. All types of opinions.
You're here with an agenda. Gussy it up however you like, Trebec.
Nothing to gussy up. Just get people thinking.
You’re “just asking questions.” Totally harmless.
I've never seen you before in my life. Go outside.
You absolutely don’t create engagement.
Frankly, you poison every fucking thread with simplistic takes accusing everyone of being genocidal until the word is now meaningless coming from you.
You make conversation impossible by flooding the zone with “fisher-price-my-first-politik” level of thinking that always dead ends with “well I don’t support gEnOcIdE!” Like you’ve actually made a point.
You’re on the front page because of your spam rate not your content. This shit is a cancer on lemmy.
