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!

Since when was the left suddenly the war hawks? I’m with these Republicans.
Man really made a Lemmy account to complain about the left scapegoat all day.
I’ve made one comment in 9 days. “All day” lol. What fantasy world do you live in?
You're not fooling anyone with that "this time". Just so you know. You got that stank even with one comment.
Defending a country from invasion is war hawking, that is hilarious.
The defense of Europe from Fascist Tyrants is an American Tradition at this point. The defeat of Russia would bring decades of peace to the Western World.
They flipped a while back.
They're apparently unaware of all the other times that our involvement in other country's wars has gone disastrously, like that one where we were in Afghanistan for 20 years and wasted trillions of dollars, all for nothing. Or that time when we gave a shitload of aid to a young Saddam Hussein so he'd fight Iran for us. That worked out really well. Or, you know, Vietnam.
Or maybe they don't have to look at their medical bills and see the extent to which we're neglecting our own people in order to fund the blank check for the US war machine.
