Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Alright at this point we should just clean house everyone in executive, Congress and Judiciary needs to go

Or, hear me out, make sure people like Trump always lose in the future so they can't initiate any appointments ever again.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

Then maybe biden should have hired an AG who was interested in pursuing justice, instead of dragging things out so biden could run as second worst to trump again.

People like Trump shouldn't be eligible for fucking office. If you have Felonies pending or served you should never be able to run for office period

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 2 points 32 minutes ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's great, but he is. What now?

I get black bagged and die.

Like it's almost like you ignored the context completely or something.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 2 points 48 minutes ago

You mean being convicted of breaking the law shouldn't be a badge of honor?

[–] potpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

Sorry yall. It was Fetterman or Oz and we fucking ended up with both.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Welp, Duckworth just lost my vote.

Traitors to america

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

David Perdue not the worst option. Former politician, former CEO of Reebok. At least it's a businessman and not a Xenophobe, any aggression between the US and China I think will be very squarely not his fault.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

They will end up in camps anyway. At least they will deserve it.

This is how Democracy works. We had an election and America chose Trump. Hard to believe but it happened. America comes together to let that person lead until the next election, this is how America is supposed to work. It is sad that so many people don't understand how the system should work.

Imagine being a liberal right now lmfao You’re pissed at EVERYTHING and yelling at your allies while the people you’re telling them to vote for are supporting the very thing making you furious.

Fuckin’ awesome.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

If we all showed up to vote blue then thwre would be no Trump appointments to be mad at.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

No, it's just disappointing.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 hours ago

Rhoeri is gonna rest their case so hard when they get here. Then we will all be sorry!

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!!!!!

jfc.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

Unironically that would have prevented all of this, yes.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This is what primaries are for. If you vote up or don't vote, it's a vote for fascism.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

primaries

I keep hearing project 2025 was a decades plan and the Dems had nothing planned to counter it. Now I'm guessing they are part of the plan.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Now I'm guessing they are part of the plan.

Dems are bought that's why.
