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!

Democrats are the only way to improve the situation we are in.
(Audience beware the lemmy.ml / hexbear poster who submits garbage like, "Republicans are honest fascists. Democrats are fascists in disguise." lol.)
Then why have the material conditions for the working class gotten worse over the last 25 years when your Democrats have been in power for 13 of them? Democrats are covert fascists
You don't understand how Congress works, do you?
It's working exactly as designed. I know your next stage is to blame Republicans for obstruction, but why is it Republicans get everything they want regardless if they hold the majority and if they hold the minority? Yet Democrats are ineffective in both scenarios.
Ehh the Democrats ounce In power will undoubtedly increase ice funding just make it less blatant so no they aren't a solution.
Ehhh this is total bullshit speculation not even grounded in historical reality.
Give me the Biden days over these Trump days any day and spare me the false equivalence trope that is convenient for Republicans.
Ah the good ol' "nothing would fundamentally change" days.
That should be the slogan of the Dems.
Ah but I mean one thing would fundamentally change.
Renee Good would still be alive and three children would still have their mother.
ICE saw their largest increase of federal funding under Biden. Democrats provide a gun to Republicans than try to act surprised when they use it
Would've happened regardless; the problem was a majority of Americans were convinced immigration was a problem. This was an attempt of appeasement of the masses ahead of the election.
I stand by what I said.
If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon
Except it's exactly what Biden did in 2020 and what Harris promised to do if she won so very grounded.
Except it's really not.
Anyone who thinks Renee Good would've been shot and killed under Biden or Harris administration are patently delusional and enabling Trumpian dogma.
Anyone want to play a game of identifying how many ICE murders there were between all of Obama and Biden administrations versus Trump?
Edit: Back, tankies! Back I say!
Your friendly reminder that these two images are banned in their respective leaders' nations, and that by viewing them from your location puts you at risk for prison time in your country, should you reside there!
The only place those images are banned are in the minds of liberals that believe the propaganda that they are banned in their respective countries
That's incorrect. They are absolutely banned in their respective countries. Do you need sources on this?
You gonna provide Western sources for your claim, the same ones claiming they are illegal?
Your English is poor. You aren't winning social points for this unconvincing apologist rhetoric. Or is this punishment already for an infraction? Perhaps mentioning Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kong, or Taiwan sovereignty?
I wonder if one expects unbiased sources from within a totalitarian regime like North Korea or China going, "Yep! We totally oppress!" haha. So what sources DO you trust? I'm curious!
You are struggling so hard to be relevant you resorted to ad hominem argumentum
