politics
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!

Case in point, acting like an asshole must be a badge of honor or something for you. I will politely ask you to get bent.
And I will politely ask you to fuck off the internet entirely until you can recognize fiction from reality. Your kind of stupidity is what's ruining everything.
He is an asshole, an absolute asshole! He comes onto Lemmy screaming with rage, everyone's stupid and everyone's wrong. He is an asshole, an absolute asshole ohh we oh the world's biggest asshole.
I would rather be a correct asshole than a polite idiot. You aren't upset I'm an asshole, you're upset because I called out the idiocy of people like you falling for this post.
Stupidity is a BAD trait. It is BAD to be stupid. If you fall for obvious misinformation, it is because you have acted stupidly, that is a BAD thing. People deserve to call you out on it because you should feel BAD for being stupid. Our society used to do this regularly and idiots learned to shut their fucking mouths and be ashamed of their stupidity.
Who we talking about here? The leftists jerking off in a circle over identity politics or conservatives jerking off in a circle over identity politics?
