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!

And don't forget to buy her new book at your local Amazon!

Shut up, loser. You and your former boss share blame for why we're here. Get out of the way and support the people who want to fix it.

I could respect her if she had tried to do something after the election, but she went radio silence when her voters needed her most. She could've been leading protests, reminding everyone of their rights, been arrested with her people, but no. She fucked off after losing, leaving people with no leader.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Fucked off just long enough for any backlash to die down before poking her head up like some dystopian political prarie dog.

At least it wasn't blasted. She went soft on them

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Things are really going to change now oh boy

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

What backdoor? They literally erased the voting power of black Americans living in the slaveholding States. It couldn't be more obvious and overt if the ruling used the N word.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I think they allowed it in the front door.

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Roberts always uses a hard R.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 days ago

The backdoor they slid the racism in through, based on the process used to disenfranchise voters.

I'm not sure they used an actual eraser, so the "literally" part seems weird.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

"Top Cop" Kamala?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't this happen nearly a week ago? Jesus Christ... I hate these democrats so much.

The Democrats have to seek permission from their corporate overlords before commenting on anything.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

"Backdoor" apparently means "roll out the red carpet for" now.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unless the "slamming" involves a head in a car door, or equivalent situation, can we please stop using this verb in mass media when it comes to simple criticism.

On the same note, claiming that someone "blasts" someone else should include the use of actual explosives.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

They just want to keep Kamala's name in the media...

The wealthy are panicking that they don't control the dnc, so we're going to see the media keep acting like this shit does anything.

[–] Auk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Progressives urge the Dems to shift left of center.
