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!

And I call bullshit on this entire line of reasoning. Everyone right of you is not Fascist, and calling everyone who is right of you a Fascist is a really shitty thing to do to people, and is a good part of why this country is so paralysed.
Bullshit equating Clinton with Harris but par for the course for these people.
Well, here's this poster's problem in a nutshell. If we don't give these particular type of posters EXACTLY what they want, they're gonna lump us in with the Christofascists that are currently taking over the GOP.
Why would I subject myself to such a bullshit factory. Little echo-chambers where nonsense like "Kamala Harris is a Fascist that murders Palestinian babies" is the same kind of bullshit factory that produces nonsense like "Kamala Harris is a Far-Leftist that murders and fucks babies for her Master, Satan," just on the Left instead of the right.
And no. I don't find .world's politics intolerable. If I did, I wouldn't be here. I find the brigade from .ml and other instances, coming here to push their bullshit that Harris is a secret Fascist who is just going to implement Project 2025 for Trump, to be intolerable, as much as the shitheads from the other side that pop in to say Harris is going to sell us off to the Mexicans and the Muslims, while being a baby-eating, baby-fucking Satan worshipper that plans global domination from the basement of a pizza parlour that doesn't have a basement...
I'd suggest this poster and its fellow spreaders of left-wing conspiracy theory bullshit might fuck off back to a "Leftist" instance of Lemmy and circlejerk with each other about how EVIL the Democratic Party is and how UNLEFT it is, but that would be mean and censoring their opinion as another purveyor of this kind of bullshit I'm calling out here put it. So, instead, I'll just call out the bullshit as I can, and call this stupidity that Harris is a secret Fascist as exactly what it is...stupid bullshit.
Well, this is the Internet, but I'll say I've only had comments banned. That's why I am not engaging with this ... person directly, because if I said what I want to say to this person, it would get removed, and I might get banned. I'd also point out that if you keep acting like "russian" trolls, you'll keep getting called Russian trolls, just not by me, because we're not allowed to do that here, DESPITE the fact that there was a troll operation discovered and exposed doing the exact same things that are being done here, today. That's my only beef with the mods. But since I can't call a spade a spade, I'll just keep debunking the bullshit being pushed by.... people I disagree with (see, I didn't call 'em Russian Trolls, mods! I are good catboy!) This isn't a fight we can give up because Russia DEFINITELY wants Trump running the show here regardless of the motivations of a given poster.
For a member of a faction who really screams loudly about being censored by other factions on the Left side of the spectrum here in the USA, this poster really likes to try to censor those other factions.
That's OK. I'm touched that this poster is concerned about my health. I had a nice relaxing bike ride, that included lots of grassy areas. My health's good. But I think I'll stick around and keep pushing against this frankly offensive bullshit being pushed that Harris is somehow Fascist. I don't care if this particular poster is motivated by a paycheque from Putin, one from Trump (but I repeat myself), one from Stein (but I repeat myself), or because it's a True Believer (tm), this bullshit serves Putin's and Trump's purpose, so I'm not gonna stop calling it out. I hope that doesn't inconvenience this poster too much! :)
