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!

All I'm seeing is someone making up assumptions about people on the Internet based on what you want to be mad about. Not to be rude, but It's just that it's the same shit you're bitching about other people doing except you're doing it to Internet strangers instead of a president. All I'm saying is that it's a very unhealthy mindset to always assume you're right and they are wrong instead of participating in a discussion. How are you supposed to get people to see your perspective if the first thing you do is insult them? Based off of your first comment it comes off as you being the one that doesn't want a discussion.
You make some good points. It's just annoying that what could have been a great place for discussion , and actually was for a while, just degenerated into a bunch of zombies chanting the same old lines without any idea of what they are talking about. The communism worship here is absurd, and whenever anyone even asks them to explain, they just go on and on about how triggering questions are and how fascists use questions as traps. It's gotten pretty ridiculous. Early on, i was encouraging people to use lemmy, now I'm just a bit embarrassed about it.
