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!

I guess they have very short memories

Well the Trump cronies are investing in their failure. I’m sure there will be ample debt based sharecropping opportunities working for the shareholders like Vance and theil in their future.

I don't live in the USA, but I wanted to check.

Remind me, do areas that have more agriculture/farmland usually vote for the Democrats, or the Republicans?

I'm kidding, I know the answer.

Suck it farmer's. You voted for this, now enjoy the "freedoms" that you have been granted by your political party.

[–] jason.crabtree@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago

But they'll continue to vote Republican.

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

Maybe don't be a fucking moron and vote for a fucking moron then???

I hope leopards run wild in this country. Maybe a brain cell will rub against another braincell and spark a fucking thought in their tiny little skulls.

Force the farmers to pay back the bailouts back. Hypocrisy needs to carry severe monetary punishments

Oh also a Democrat farmer's perspective on this white debacle of Republican proportions.

Fear not farmers Bill Gates will buy that land off you and you can finally Make America Gates Again.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or more likely JD Vance himself. He was (is?) invested in AcreTrader, they takeover farm land and turn ownership into share-based investment vehicles.

This is no mistake. The general plot is to create a situation where land can be purchased all across the US at low cost. Then the land will be owned by the wealthy for data centres and corporate owned and governed cities, states and mini nations (e.g. the breaking up of US into smaller corporate nations).
