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!

Hey, just curious: who is down-voting this Reuters article and why? Come now, don't be shy!
I encourage people not to bury their heads in sand to ignore hard truths.
One of us... One of us.... One of us...
Lemmy is just as bad as reddit but with fewer people. Downvotes aren't tied with the source but just the content.
"Space garbage kills puppy" post will be downvoted to oblivion and "Reddit CFO becomes homeless says BuzzFeed paparazzi" will get 1000 up votes.
There's also a lot of Biden supporters having a nervous breakdown right now
"Supporter" is a strong word. I prefer "person who realizes biden is the only option to slow America's descent into a fascist theocracy."
We just lost chevron so it might be too late anyway.
Lemmy/Reddit is full of Dems and any article that goes against the narrative of the day gets downvoted and it's the same with comments. It's not how it's supposed to work but it does
As a Democrat, I hope my fellow members of the coalition wake up.
It's not Dems.
How many peeps downvote with an explanation?
0.0002% !
How many upvote and reply with fawning or cream on top?
See what I mean?
It's a bug in lemmy. Drive-by downers.
Lemmy echo chamber doing it's things.. globalist wokie hard working people..
