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!

Why would any of your bogeymen be claiming that Biden hates genocide?
Centrists will throw unfounded conspiracy theory accusations like this at anyone who dares to suggest that Biden should stop supporting genocide.
But say that centrists support genocide...
You have no idea how misinformation works do you?
Sure. Centrists see someone on their left, and then summarily announce that they must be spreading misinformation, usually accompanied by an accusation that the person in question must fall into one of a small number of archetypes that can be dismissed without thinking.
These archetypes often coincide with groups conservatives hate, such as communists and foreigners.
Lemmy is a tiny, fledgling platform full of hostile centrists. Why would anyone want to spread misinformation here? There's no ROI to speak of.
Lemmy is full of hostile centrists?
No roi that you see. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Small or niche communities are easy to steer. Most of Lemmy probably have other social media like Reddit or Twitter. Plant a seed and watch it grow.
That’s why lots of stuff gets credited to 4chan, or similar. For example: Pizzagate. Totally false. Started on a niche network.
That niche network 4chan, with merely 22 million visitors a month
Insert another name.
Which is why lemmy is all tankies and centrists aren't represented for shit here.
