Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

God you people are full of excuses. They’re right; this is American resistance.
It works for the opposition well enough, and has for decades.
Oh fuck off with this. Your wing of the party found endless excuses for not doing what they campaigned on. Your wing of the party found the votes to block everything. Until netanyahu wanted weapons, then all those excuses vanished instantly and the law was no impediment.
Republicans fight for the reprehensible shit republican voters want. It's too bad that's also what you fight for while expecting lockstep fealty.
Nup, it’s the truth. Can’t vote because job. Candidate is not perfect and is responsible for some one else actions overseas. I didn’t vote for him. I can’t do anything. It was rigged. My vote doesn’t make a difference. Take a card ay. Every American has an excuse, they just build it around their situation.
Not an American. Listen to Obama. Don’t whinge, vote. For the record, I agree, the centrist Democrats are very disappointing and quite beholden to bad actors.
Take that up with them, but having Harris as your president now would definitely be better for you and everyone.
Set this up years ago with Epstein and got the ball rolling for this by instigating this with his Hamas mates. All done so Americans willing to hold Democrats responsible for that attack through emotional appeal via genocide, and they came in hook, line and sinker. Played. Disgracefully I might add.
It’s not the first time, they tried similar shit on Clinton, remember? Another terrible candidate. We’d still be in a better place had she won though.
Yes. We have been saying this for years. Back then it was ‘I don’t gave to bite, it’s my right, mind your own business’. Without realising, as you see now, what weight that vote has. Another reason to respect it.
I repeat, I am not one of these people you want to pigeonhole me as. I want you all to vote, participate and take politics seriously. Recognise your system, as it stands, offers only one way to fix it and that is to graft it out by voting for your people and backing them. That’s it. If I see Newsom as the runner I know you will have failed the primary and that will be on you. I don’t want Newsom, I want your progressive. Don’t let us down again.
Provided we always vote for genocide and nothing else.
Party leadership successfully argued in court that they have the right to rig the primaries so we only get whatever genocidal shit they and you want.,
No I want you to vote. If you do it the way you shoukd that shouldn’t happen, provided enough of you do.
I’m sorry. I’m not your Zionist.
And if AOC runs in the primary, I want you and others voting for her
A progressive, young candidate. I have for years. I would have been happy with Sanders. I know, it hurts, but fight it…I’m not who you want me to be
Bullshit. You are only happy when people vote for genocidal shit with a fake smile on their faces.
<Bullshit. You are only happy
Yep, tell yourself that. Useful tool. Kid killer. Pedophile enabler.
I. Voted. For. Harris.
Great. I said that based on nationality not voting intention.
Sorry for being outnumbered by the genocidal. You're happy I am.
