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!

Is that the sound of a liberal that can't explain why his government refuses to call the Genocide israel commits a Genocide?
No, it's the sound of me pointing out that you can try to spread this garbage everywhere but none of us are falling for it
Oops can't explain that question of course. Gotta keep dodging it.
No, I literally answered your stupid question, keep up.
Basic reading comprehension is fucking hard for you, init?
I couldn't read you explaining why the Democrats are supporting a Genocide.
That's because I didn't.
Because I'm not going to.
Because you're a bad faith dipshit who won't listen to basic fact and everyone here knows it
Oh cool so you can't explain why both sides aren't the same but still deny it.
Putting words in my mouth doesn't make you correct.
Stay mad though it's funny as fuck
And that is the sound of someone going ad hominem when they feel insecure.
if you could explain it, why didn't you?
Because Linker and you both have a history of willful stupidity
Which you of course know because you've been told this many times
your characterization of other users doesn't absolve you for having to defend your position.
your accusation of bad faith is, itself bad faith.
>Yeah, actually, it does
no, it doesn't. a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. when someone is asked to support their position, and they instead attack the person asking, no one should believe their claim.
Good thing I didn't make a claim, then. You said I had to defend my position when I do not, that's all that I said.
I agree. Unless said person has a history of participating in bad faith, like yourself.
You can add user notes to people on Lemmy, I have one for you and am quite familiar with your complete lack of basic conversational skills thanks to it.
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith
>You can add user notes to people on Lemmy,
you can do that on mastodon, but it's not a core feature of lemmy. are you using the paid, proprietary client for a free software, federated protocol platform?
gross.
First: there's more than one paid app
Second: No, I didn't pay for the app I'm using
Third: Entirely irrelevant to the discussion, as usual
i can't downvote on mastodon. you're tilting at windmills.
You really cant read, can you?
your syntax was ambiguous. it's not my fault you didn't construct it clearly. there is certainly a problem with literacy in this thread, though.
Keep stretching for the fault to be on me and not your bsrelt-functioning brain, surely someone will believe it eventually.
Yeah, you and that other guy both seem completely incapable of basic English in about the same ways. Interesting, that is
bsrelt
i think the lady doth protest too much.
it's not a stretch.
And redirecting too! Wow, you're managed to hit several of the bad faith talking points that conservatives use.
>bad faith talking points that conservatives use.
this is pigeonholing
i just got here. tone it down.
Can't respond to that one because you know I'm right. Quick pivot.
My last message and I am disengaging from you since neither you nor any of this are worth my effort. You can't point at someone and say "see, you don't have the answers to everything therefore I win, checkmate, home run, idiot". If you had a real point to make, you'd have done so long ago. Instead, you're just slinging a bunch of turds around and then pat yourself on the back for a job well done. I'm here to tell you that you have failed to convinced a single person of anything you said. Further, you may not actually believe anything you say and only say it in an attempt to feel better than others. Both of these things are very unhealthy and are something that you should resolve for your own health and safety.

Long comment zero content. You have proven my point
Leftists aren't liberals and liberals aren't leftists. Everyone knows both parties are bad. One is worse though.
