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'll come out and just say it: your comment, is so much my overall mood, that it literally is the most exciting thing I've read on Lemmy today.
I'm too mental to lead a revolt, but i'm sitting on pins and needles for someone(s) who is fit to lead, and i'll be there to back them 100% the moment they do.
Well, if I were a bettin’ man, I’d say this event, if it comes to pass, might prompt the beginning. There has to be a breaking point. Human excrement masquerading as people literally handing wannabe fascist dictators the highest office in the land has to be pretty close to that point.
Yeah... but i've said that same thing several times this year alone. Seems like we can take a hell of a beating so long as theirs show's to binge or something ¯\(ツ)/¯
Of course. We’re all too comfortable. We’ve never had to fight for our very existence like those in Gaza or the hundred other places around the world where violence is right outside your door every day.
It’s unfortunate, but I think most Americans would choose letting it all happen and just living with it. The problem? This might be the last free election of choice.
