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!

Hey, everyone who’s claiming Harris is going to be just as bad for Gaza as Trump will be: square this circle for me, would you?

They're voting Jill Stein because Daddy Putin says vote splitting is a communist conspiracy

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Jill Stein sold her morals to the highest bidder like a good capitalist.

The people who claim that are campaigning for trump.

Some because they like him. Some because they are accelerationist motherfuckers that want to see the world burn. Some because they are useful idiots.

But they are all spreading lies in service of Trump.

Well actually several Dem congressmen vote for stuff we don't like therefore all Dems are as bad as Repubs and therefore they are worse than Repubs.

My sources are lemmy.ml and hexbear.

That would require them being capable of critical thinking, and anyone willing to vote third party clearly lacks in that department.

Last time I checked on those people they claimed Trump would be completely pro Palestinian and everyone who didn’t see this true true was stupid. Didn’t know they jumped right to jUsT As BaD.

They were never serious

The people employing bad arguments and/or who just turned 14 are not likely to be able to do that.

Yeah they’re probably still learning their basic geometry

Basically his ideas are automatically the good ideas, and since Harris isn't gonna do the exact same thing as him that means she'll be bad. Same logic in saying she'll be bad for Israel, the southern border, etc.

"Both sides"

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

You can vote for Harris and also be an anti-genocide advocate by demanding your representatives to BDS Israel, back anti-genocide bills put forth by progressive Democrats, and demand they support ending unconditional military aid to Israel. Every US voter can and should do both.

Trump will obviously be worse on all aspects of domestic and foreign policy.

Is this actually what he said or are they omitting a 10 minute rant about electrified hannibal lector sharks? Does anyone have a transcript?

[–] L0rdMathias 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, those goddamned refugees better not return to the land they had taken from them just now!

Edit: Ahh I realize I misinterpreted the title. W/e, Trump would be dumb enough to say something like that so I stand by what I said.

How the fuck is this asshole not in prison? He was convicted of dozens of felonies....

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

curious to see what the IP people will have to say about this one...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

"In an event about combating antisemitism"

... I've heard about fighting fire with fire, so they took that literally and fight hatred with hatred?

"In order to not be antisemitic were going to be anti-islamic/Arabic! We can't just love people, that's hippie woke bullshit! Make America Hate ~~Still~~ Again!"
