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!

It's like Nazism and McCarthyism fucked and had a creepy, evil, disgusting baby.

I'm partial to pepperoni pizza, single player video games, and Disordianism.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

I shall bestow them all upon you

White men will never recover from this. Any creditability they once had is gone.

I know I will never trust a white man going forward until the day I die.

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're getting down voted but where's the lie? Any white guy keeping his head down is complicit at this point. History will not be kind to the craven cowards of this decade.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because grouping an entire race of people under one umbrella-like view is racist.

Easy way to tell is just sub the race mentioned for another race. "I will never trust a black man from now until the day I die." Does that sound OK to you?

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm trying to give the benefit of a doubt to Liberal white men but you gotta look at it from my perspective as a black man here. Look at every fucked up action that's been done in the last couple of years. And who provided the majority of support for Trump.

[–] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago

White women. That is the majority of Trump's base.

Remember when people prioritized genocide on the other side of the planet and now they're going to get it right here at home?

[–] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah it sucks Harris and the DNC fully supported the genocide in Gaza. Hopefully they, and the american public, has learned their lesson.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The republicans are still paying for this narrative to be diseminated?

[–] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago

At least your name checks out.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

fully supported

Not sure you understand what these two words together mean.

One side was floating arms shipment cancellations and trying to broker a peace deal. The other side said "bulldoze it so we can build a resort" and a ton of American dipshits thought both sides were the same and abstained from voting.

Nothing I've seen in the last year has indicated to me that the American public has learned their lesson.

[–] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago

One side was floating arms shipment cancellations and trying to broker a peace deal.

No side did this. Biden said he was going to do this, then he went behind congress multiple times to deliver weapons. Harris explicitly stated her policy on Gaza was the same as the Biden administration. Which would be useless ceasefires (ceasefires aren't ceasefires if only one side stops), empty words, while fully materially supporting the genocide while also supplying US intelligence and personnel for the genocide.

Yeah that's giving Americans far too much credit. One could imagine an educated populace could understand 'Those willing to do genocide to others are willing to do it to you,' but we are talking about the US here. They barely even go to school.

[–] AnalogHole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Trans people existing is subversive because it is an extremely high expression of freedom and challenges fundamental concepts about our world. If someone can change their gender, what else can we change? Capitalism? Politicians?

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah. They're just a boogeyman conservatives use to scare WASPs. If it wasn't them it'd be some other group

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's also an excuse to go after the lgbt community and other subjagated groups

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

On our way to a more, well, final solution.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

THANK YOU. That is where this shit ends if you don't fucking stop it
