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!

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

But don't you see how great things are in Gaza now? Surely the downfall of democracy was worth it.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 48 points 4 days ago (13 children)

Things in Gaza will be totally worth it when it is razed to the ground and a huge Trump resort is built on top of it. Gazans can work as waiters and masseuses where their houses used to be!

At least we stuck it to GeNoCiDe JoE, though

Let's forget a neolib Democrat was president and let an insurrection, election rigging, a child raping conspiracy, and more slide into the background.

You can literally vote blue and shit gets worse and then you're an asshole for not voting blue. Fucking maga shits of another color.

But Harris had a shrill laugh.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

... Psst....

The real reason she lost was that she has a vagina. But they know they can't say that out loud. So, "shrill laugh" it is

Read: I didn’t read the article

He never does. Just mindlessly trolls and then sea lions when called out for it.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He says what the mods agree with though so it's never dealt with, unlike those who point out their sealioning or strawmans

Why accept that your favorite party has issues when you can blame a nebulous group of people? Toss in a dash of "I don't actually care if people get hurt when my guy does it" sometimes too!

Real leftists have moved on from the election, while.fake "centrists" are still scapegoating leftists for their own defeat. You didn't let us make any choices, you can't blame us for the results

The current state of American democracy is like having a cancer.

Dnc is the chemotherapy that might give you a few more years of losing sanity slowly, throwing up at all the steps. All the while withholding the medicine which might cure you but that is socialism.

Gop is quackery, it will kill you quicker but will be painful.

Not voting is like not taking any medicine. It is painful, it is guaranteed death but you are not wasting any of your resources on half measures.
