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'm obviously interested in politics stuff but I'm honestly currently here wondering about lemmy's politics. Does anyone know which way if any this place leans? Reddit politics obviously claimed to be neutral but by the end id say it was one of the most left biased websites on the net. Anyone know about this place?
Lemmy is more left-wing than Reddit and FAR more unwelcoming to differing views. If you’re even slightly to the right of Bernie Sanders, be prepared to be called a “fascist” and ridiculed by bad faith users. Consider yourself warned.
Are you just slightly to the right of Bernie Sanders, or do you suspect that there is some other reason that people keep calling you a fascist?
Because if people kept calling me a fascist, I might take the hint and do some introspection.
Ah look everybody, another one. Thanks for proving my point.
Fine. Since you evidently get called a fascist all the time on lemmy, you should be able to provide an example of it happening.
I for one love biden but hate the hard left. On PCM I was auth center. Where do I land in this site daddy

Just started scrolling around here a few days ago myself. Based purely on the posts I've clicked from "top", so far it seems to be about as left as reddit, but in an even more angry way: Even quicker to use dehumanizing rhetoric, to jump on the "anyone who doesn't agree with me must actually be acting in bad faith" trend that has been gaining ground on reddit, and so on. And even one highly upvoted comment that said that every mention of free speech is a fascist dog whistle, which in context I think was supposed to be in support of some lefty thing, though that would enrage most lefties I know in the real world.
See how it plays out though, haven't been here long.
Liberals aren't leftists fyi
Kind of sounds like feelings are more important to you than facts.
reddit kept the_donald around for years after they promoted and helped organize a literal nazi rally. reddit coddles the worst of what conservatism has to offer, and always has.
If that's too far left for your tastes, you will not like a community where you can't work the refs by whining.
