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!

I knew you weren’t from the US. Where are you from?
Just look at it's profile, nothing but propaganda
It used to feel like a wild conspiracy that you might be engaging with some bad faith state-sponsored foreign actor in a forum, now its just Friday.
Google Translate tells me their username is Dutch for “left lane”.
What?
It's because you used periods instead of commas in your total of aipac money. That's not proper American syntax and shows you're from somewhere else.
I don't recall my calculators coming with commas. Where are you from?
Nobody said anything about calculators, you don't seem to understand the question. The comments about using commas in numbers in the U.S. are 100% correct.
You have a keen interest in posting all day about politics in a country you arent from. Can never answer a question about your own background.
Incessantly talk shit about Israeli policy from an anti Democratic perspective without a whif of criticism of the Republicans, who would be far worse in their full throated approval of Israeli warcrimes. What is your native language? Are you able to vote in the USA?
Interesting statement that proves you have not done any research. I'll not bother with your other baseless allegations either.
Its an observation, sweetie.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you comment on lemmy using a calculator.
The dot key on your calculator is a decimal point, not a thousands separator.
Americans use the dot as a decimal point, and the comma as a thousands separator. This is the reverse of what most European countries do.
An American would write $5,000,000.00
A Frenchman (or a Russian) would write 5.000.000,00$
They have Euros in France and the monetary sign comes before the number too.
I'm quite amused by the amount of reaching here though. You guys might accuse me of being the Boston Bomber if you keep this level of detective work going.
I mean, your username is Dutch. It doesn’t take Columbo to figure out you’re probably not American.
I once saw someone that had Sardaukar in their username they must have been from the Dune universe.
I mean, I don’t care where you’re from.
I’m more bothered by the fact that you don’t know how to use a calculator.
You have a keen interest in US politics, but don’t follow US customs. Where are you from?
Ooh good spot
