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!

This comment is straight out of the Republican playbook. There's no blame on previous Republicans because they need to shift the narrative away from them. Anyways I'm convinced the left won the vote and voting machines were tampered with.

People should see the change of hands before the election.
edit: dont think this is out of the republican playbook after discourse, going to do more research before i make claims. https://prri.org/spotlight/breaking-down-the-differences-between-voters-and-non-voters-in-the-2024-election/
Yeah literally nobody here is saying that. Stop fucking lying.
Ya my comment sounded too aggressive. I just meant to say that the top comment is making us blame non voters more.
It's not that they deserve more blame, it's just pretty pointless to blame the people everyone knew were going to vote for Trump anyway, there was never any saving them and they're too disconnected from reality for blame-and-shame to have any effect on them. There are actually reasonable people who were non-voters and non-viable 3rd-party voters who could have shifted the vote, the idea is to keep those people from doing that again in an effort to save democracy. We blame them because they are functionally fascists and there's a chance they might actually feel some shame about that. That chance drops to zero with actual Republican voters.
Dems aren't the left
Thanks for the correction. I'll just say right propaganda made me more stupid.
Edit: more like lemmy community is educated
Oh fuck right off. The 'your vote means nothing anyway' shit is whats actually out of the playbook. Because its pigs like you that continue to blame the Dems for everything and actually ignore the Republicans.
Dumbass trying to pull the 'no u' childish shit for being lazy as fuck.
Republicans are fascists, Dems are just fascist lite.
I wish Fred Hampton would Jesus himself back and run for President
