I truly wish we could have a good faith conversation about the extreme shortcomings of the Democratic Party. That's a good and valuable conversation to have. But Lemmy is absolutely INFESTED with "hello there, fellow Leftists" types who exclusively attack Democrats and are deafeningly silent about Republicans.

I consider the majority of this site as MAGA-compromised enemy territory. Any criticism about Democrats without at least a preferatory "Republicans are way worse" is immediately suspect.

You will never admit that they have any at all.

Yes, when you pretend that everyone to your left is all the way to your right, you get to dismiss everyone to your left. Pretty sure that's the only time you have anything bad to say about anyone you claim to be to your right.

Yeah Cryophillia has previously dismissed me. I wonder if they’ll forget this next time they say I’m somehow an Ultra Secret Double Agent Trump supporter.

Hey guess what happened with them again within 24 hours, I think they have some form of memory loss.

Never in a million years, next time someone says "I don't think Biden should have slowed Trump's arrest." they'll just go "huh, must be a Russian bot."

Anyone to the left of Reagan/Biden is a Tankie to them.

I know you absolutely have an agenda that perfectly dovetails with the Russian one, except you occasionally (and seemingly accidentally) veer into sanity for brief periods. Makes conversation more fun.

Yes, I am a secret russian, despite the fact Putin should be hanged and I want a free Ukraine. And I hate how Lenin killed the anarchists in Ukraine.

You see red and only see Republican, ignoring the other contexts of colors in history, everyone is political cartoon, 2D and exaggerated.

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!
