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.

MODERATORS
There is no requirement that an incumbent president must be the nominee. Centrist pro-genocide-and-nothing-else democrats sued to make sure no challenger to biden was on the ballot in all 50 states. Then biden stepped down and appointed harris. At no point were the voters asked. Anyone who voted uncommitted in the primaries was screamed at for being a traitor by people who demand affirmative support for genocide and nothing else.
People like you.
No, they are not like me. That said though, there’s no requirement to hold a primary, either, right?
I am like Mamdani. You want me to be a shitlib, but I’m not. I’ve wanted a progressive nominated for years and was as disappointed with Harris as I was with Clinton. I knew they’d put up no one else though.
What I understand, though, is that a) the only way that your current system, the way it is, can be fixed is by infiltration of one of the parties, like what has happened to the Republicans. That was ground up, and it needs to be the same through the Democrats so ranked choice et al can be introduced and b) not a single Democrat, even the worst, is up there with the Epstein Coalition
I would have opposed that court action.
I’m getting tired of this though, I’m telling excuse makers who have a bit of blood on their hands just simply to vote and they’re going fucking stupid over it as they do. Kid killers. I guess that’s why you're so pissed.
You're telling someone who voted the way you wanted despite hating the options presented that they're a kid killer.
Based on nationality, for you personally yeah.
If it pisses you off, have a drizz. I don’t care anymore what you or your countrymen think of me now and many foreigners feel the same way.
You all should have stopped this shit years ago. If you tried, shut the fuck up and don’t swing or you might get collateral because you’re all responsible for it.
You demand silence only from people who are upset at genocide.
