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!

MODERATORS
Reddit remarks like yours are what make everyone less intelligent, not even engaging in discussions and going straight to personal insults does not contribute in any meaningful way to any discussion.
Troll comments, like your entire post history @lexicondexicon@lemmy.world, aren’t worth constructively engaging because you’re not actually trying to have a discussion. Instead, commenters like you are typically either JAQing off or simply parroting echo chamber level hate. Mockery is 100% the proper response. It doesn’t dignify your nonsense.
If a person having their own independent thoughts constitutes "trolling" to you then you must be a robot or someone with a very boring personality and no life. My posts come from my own POV, if you don't care for it, fine, but it's still my own voice.
And I don't care for your lynch mob attitude either. I had to deal with so much racist garbage on reddit which is why I left in 2014
You’re absolutely entitled to your own opinions. But, you have to understand that most intelligent people find your opinions unfounded and, frankly, stupid. Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
That’d hurt if it didn’t come from a downvote dumpster. Y’all really don’t realize that we can all see your post histories, huh?
There is zero reason to respond seriously to your comment because it's just pure stupidity and it is a waste of our time to engage with it.
So my own personal experience is "stupid" to you? Nothing in my entire posting history indicates anything other than I care about humanity and fighting back against racism and bigotry.
I don't know why you people are so evil but you seriously need to grow up. I expect a higher level of discussion here than on reddit where half the commenters would just jerk off with dumb reddit upvotes from snappy "one liners"
Did you expect the same acceptance for empty words and unfounded claims too? You dont have a base right to get a proper reply, you have to earn it by making a good point (thats worth debating) in the first place.
Here is a pointer to where you wemt wrong: painting a picture as if this is lets say the dem fault, rather than the rampaging elephant in the room, the gop. Its an old method of "arguing", and if you want to be taken seriously, should have picked a different tactic. But you didnt so... here we are.
Because you people have no standards. We require you actually have evidence or facts before we listen. It's why out of all your comments you've posted here you have yet to actually say anything of worth.
Your sheer lack of self awareness with surprising. I haven't made any claims that need backing up or evidence. I haven't made any claims here aside from pointing out your lack of evidence and your hypocrisy.
Dishonest? Nice claim, care to back it up? If you can?
The standard is simple; provide something beyond a surface level claim. Or at least make an effort to make the claim seem reasonable. In this example, the original commenter you've jumped to defend portrays the dems as if its all their fault... but is it? As mentioned, there is the figurative elephant (gop) in the room, and all the shit they do, but ... No, the focus was on having selected biden. Not only that but also implying the blm marches were the root cause. But what about the reason for the marches? Or the actions by the elephant? Its not that the context doesnt exist just because, we all know it does. So, to then argue as if that context is gone... why should we take that as a serious and legit addition to the conversation, when its really not?
Its also amusing to see you call me/us "dishonest", as it seems to be the exact thing you are currently doing. Theres a word for this, and it is, besides being a tried and true tactic of the elephant: projection. Accusing others of what you yourself are or have been doing yourself.
So how about it?
Also, to be clear, no one here considers you a threat. At most you are a nuisance at this point. So really no need to defend anyone from you.
Lol, I'm sincerely hoping you are a kid because all you have done so far is when you found out no one is taking your baseless opinions as anything other then angry ranting is you basically just started saying nuh uh. Hopefully someday you educate yourself and learn how to actually have a debate.
One word: projection.
You didnt criticize for shit, just a meager and baseless accusation. Bye bye.
Also, to actually jump to using a wish for someone to get shot, either as suicide or by aomeone else, well there aremt that many other eays that tops that one in showing a frankly hillarious lack of a real point or argument.
Tl;dr: you suck at presenting an actual argument. Are you a genuine child, or a poorly educated adult?
We expect a higher level of discussion as well, which is why you are being downvoted and ignored. Troll elsewhere
We don't. You just don't have any actual criticisms yoy are bringing up. It's just whining about made up things and being mad you can't blatantly act shitty with no consequences anymore.
