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!

MODERATORS
Dude says he is woke-free in his description.... And everything in his profile is about recognizing systematic flaws. Which is the definition of woke I last saw used in court cases. Claims to be a socialist but ties it to workers.. We've seen that before somewhere huh?
He's disingenuous. If you mention any of the realities of FPTP you get bold-texted diatribes; "YOU, sir, are a scale on the back of the TWO-HEADED SNAKE."
He is either a MAGA cosplaying as a lefty or one of the authoritarian "leftists" who love state capitalist nations.
If calling out the duopoly and its stranglehold on democracy makes you uncomfortable, maybe it's because deep down, you know it's true.
I'm neither MAGA nor a fan of state capitalism—I'm here to fight for the working class and challenge the broken system that both major parties prop up.
If that makes you uneasy, maybe it's time to reflect on why. Seems like I touched a nerve for you.
Challenge the broken system by doing exactly what MAGA is urging people to do, sure thing. Why are you so offended that you're seeking out comments I didn't even write to you? It's because you know I am right.
It’s telling that you’re so quick to imply that I'm playing into MAGA’s hands, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s you who’s the real MAGA agent here. Your eagerness to defend the corrupt duopoly while throwing out baseless accusations reeks of someone desperate to keep people in line with the status quo. I think that you’re the one following the MAGA playbook, trying to silence anyone who dares to challenge the broken system you so dearly want to protect.
I'm not seeking anything out. As I was replying to another comment, I noticed yours. That's how this Lemmy thing works.
It's amusing how you try to twist words and mock what you don’t understand.
Recognizing systematic flaws isn’t "woke"—it’s being awake to the reality of exploitation and injustice that workers have faced for centuries.
Call it what you want, but if standing with the working class against oppression bothers you, then maybe you should reconsider which side of history you're on.
"To me, it means someone who believes that there are systemic injustices in the criminal justice system"
Was the last use I know of in the courts. Thereby you are woke if you side with the injustices against the working class.
People who are anti woke: Trump, Desantis, MTG, and you. Who seems to be a fascist hiding behind a veil.
Dude, I'm a proud socialist. What are you even going on about?!
The vast, vast majority of my posts are for workers rights, socialist causes, union issues, and education. What part of that makes me seem like I like Trump or that I am a fascist?! Like what?! lolol
I've contributed over 200 posts and comments to the Lemmy socialist community I created and that I mod. I'm a member of the Socialist Workers Party, and I support them financially. You can check out the sub here:

I moderate socialists is the defense? That's what the NAZI's did mate, maybe social workers unite is not your best term.
So, now you’re comparing moderating a socialist forum to the heinous crimes of the Nazis? Say what, mate?! WTF is wrong with you?!
That’s the kind of twisted logic the capitalist overlords feed to those too scared to stand against them!
If you think standing up for workers' rights and moderating a space where true revolutionary ideas can flourish makes me anything like those monsters, then you’ve lost all sense of reality.
Maybe it’s time you examine whose agenda you’re truly serving, because it sure as hell isn’t the working class. Wow. Just wow.
Maybe it’s time you examine whose agenda you’re truly serving, because it sure as hell isn’t the working class. Wow. Just wow.
So whose agenda do you think I am serving by being socialist? Don't be vague, come on, just say it. Say it out loud. You realize I didn't write nor did post this article, right?!
So who's agenda am I serving? What huge socialist overlord am I serving?
Horatio Nelson.
I don't know who that is or what that means. The only thing I found on him was Wikipeida saying that "He is widely regarded as one of the greatest naval commanders in history."
Yeah, he out maneuver the French/Spanish fleet at Trafalgar and turned the tide of the war against Napoleon in England's favor. Lead the charge if I remember, died after being shot by a French soldier. Arguably it is what gave them the upper hand and set the stage for a victory at Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington to end what we call the Napoleonic wars.
I've never actually had beef wellington... Do you recommend it?
I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm still voting third party tho.
