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!

MODERATORS
Where has Tim Walz been all my political life. Fuck's sake, it's a low bar, but having a Dem on the national stage who isn't afraid to get a little rough with these dipshits is immensely satisfying after some two decades of "W-we c-can't say anything m-mean about the fascists..."
I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.
We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.
Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.
Dutton literally went in ads recently to help them sell Dodge Rams.. which is a car nobody wants here
And the libs aren't even the worst. It's scary by how many idiots are reposting nonsense from the far right parties
The real problem seems to be that Facebook isn't moderated anymore, and we clearly need laws in place to force them to do so.
Good luck to you and your compatriots. It hasn't done much in the United States. Trump has been steadily gaining for over a month and now Kamala is sliding, so I'm not sure if calling them weird dipshits does much, but it does feel good.
