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!

Trump could cut a baby's head off on live TV and he would still get an ass ton of votes from Republicans. They are completely indoctrinated.
The Bible is full of baby killing. They'd probably be more convinced that he's God's chosen.

Biden could provide the weapons and money to kill 36000.palestinians and his followers would still say the other guy is more dangerous.
I know it's hard to hold 2 seemingly contradictory truths in your head at the same time. It is, however, possible to be a Republican that doesn't support Trump and a Democrat that doesn't support Biden. Neither party is a monolith. If you got out more and talk to people, you'd realize that.
If a person votes for their party, they support their candidates, their policies, and their actions.
That is a really immature and inaccurate take on human psychology.
And an incorrect take on politics. It's impossible for a politician to hold every single one of your beliefs. Impossible. You are suppose to chose from a pool of candidates the one that most closely aligns.
That's very true. Because the other guy would provide the same money and weapons, and also do all that other crime and corruption stuff he loves so much.
Found the MAGAt. Keep supporting your dictator, fascist.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
There is no difference between red fascism and blue fascism. No difference between MAGA and BlueMAGA, QANON or BlueAnon. All of you support the same levels of oppression
Careful, your Whataboutism is showing.
Communists, come get your boy, they're making you all look bad and reinforcing the red scare stereotypes.
This dude ain't a Communist. I've got him tagged from previous threads. If anything, he's a conservative concern troll trying to make leftists look bad.
speaking the truth is good, actually.
I truly hope you get paid for this, otherwise it's just sad.
Lol the fuck are you even talking about? I guess you can just make shit up in an attempt to make it seem like Democrats are even remotely close to as stupid as the average Republican...
Just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean it's made up. The way BlueMAGA is in denial about Genocide Joe being a senile pedo is the same way MAGA is in denial about the same thing with Trump.
Zzzzzzz
That's the core of the problem, democrats went back to sleep in 2020 and are no longer interested in holding government accountable.
Uh huh.
Please, give me more details of this alternate universe, I'm looking for ideas for a novel, and this stuff is gold.
On a definitely unrelated note, I'm thankful that the app I use for Lemmy has a built in tagging feature.
you do such good work every day.
