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!

Shatters!! You hear that, pony soldier? Shatters!! Into shards, that themselves shattered. It was an out of control fractal of shattering, it slowed the universe down for a little, but, hey, how would you even notice?

These fucking headlines… 🤦‍♂️

To shreds you say? What about journalistic quality of the linked article? To shreds you say?

Slams, destroys, claps at...... ugh!

So freaking stupid. You don’t like the way Biden is handling Gaza, so you turn to the man who * checks notes * wants to ban Muslims from entering America and moved the US embassy to Jerusalem against Palestinian wishes? You think he will do a better job for Gaza? He will cheerlead a genocide.

This campaign is about the primaries, not the general election. They have not told anyone to vote for Trump.

The Dems took voters for granted in 2016 and got what they deserved. They should be thanking this campaign but shooting the messenger is so much easier, so they won't.

It’s funny to hear all the crybaby dnc sycophants who support genocide saying the same dumb talking points again and again.

I’m starting to think they are bots, because it would get boring just saying the same stupid shit over and over again.

You can directly say you're voting for Biden in your comment, and they'll still screech that you want Trump to win.

Who the hell supports genocide? If we don't vote for status quo Joe we get Mango Mussolini who's not only bad for the us he's bad for the world... He literally only cares about himself

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Who the hell supports genocide?

Joe Biden. That's why 100,000 Michiganders just voted "uncommitted".

Also Trump, but the only people who want him to win are Republicans.

Voters are well aware what a monster Trump is. You’re being disingenuous or dense by continuing to screech about the orange dotard.

The DNC is refusing to hold primaries in good faith. This is literally the last best option to show our utter disdain for Biden’s piss poor policy positions, because they have removed democratic choice as an option.

Don’t like it? Be a better leader. Start by demanding a ceasefire and restoring full funding for UN humanitarian aid in Gaza. Blaming voters for Biden’s failures is a surefire strategy to lose in November.

The DNC ~~is refusing~~ has refused to hold primaries in good faith.

fixed that for you (see: 2016, 2020)

It's fine to vote against Biden in the primaries, as long as you hold your note and vote for him in the general to prevent a literal dictatorship.

Voting uncommitted in a primary isn't going to help Trump. After election, after election, after election, where we've been desperately trying to tell angry, fed-up voters that the time to express that is in the primary, and they have to vote against the worst candidate in the general election, turning around and telling them now that they can't even vote how they want in the goddamn primary absolutely will help Trump.

If Trump is elected Gaza will be absorbed into Israel.

Shattered at 81% of the vote. How will he ever recover?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Polled expectations were 10%.

They got 13.3%.

This is looking Bad for Biden.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (3 children)

He is so far behind. He might as well just quit now.

On the BBC this morning they mentioned the us primaries. Biden “soundly defeated his opponents in the primaries” or whatever dumb way they phrased it. Neoliberals gotta neoliberal their ships right into them there icebergs I guess.
