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!

Because you're unwillingness to show solidarity with your fellow lefties in national elections like the presidential. Help me the victories of their pet fascists all that more certain.
Again vote for whomever you like. Or don't vote at all. As an anarchist I don't necessarily care. Your problem is the false morality you try to beat everyone over the head with selfishly. No one hates you. They simply hate the ACT you do. As I said to mozz earlier. You have a lot of passion and energy which is not a bad thing. You just lack understanding and focus. If you could simply swap your need to performatively be the victim with those you'd be set.
I am.
You seem to care. And I have no morality. People are yelling about my choice, and I tell them that I'm still doing what I want to. I've ALWAYS said that I respect and support their right to disagree and vote for whoever they want. I've said it in multiple posts. How is that "false morality"?
Care enough to address the misrepresentations and misunderstandings your spamming everywhere? Yes. Care about who you vote for? No.
If you stopped wildly editorializing everything you're spamming you would get a lot less pushback. That and virtue signaling against some imaginary duopoly you've made up. Neither the Democrats or Republicans are a monolith unto themselves. And both of them are products themselves of a flawed system. And not some Machiavellian duopoly to be raged against ineffectually. That's where the false morality gets involved.
Funny you say that! Because I cut back on my replies I was just hearing from someone TODAY, saying that by me not replying or limiting my replies, means I am not participating in this community good faith, and make myself seem suspicious. LMAO
You two should chat with each other and figure out what's best for the community!
I posted an article that's already widely available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy. I didn’t write it or create the content. It's already out there for anyone to see, so all I did was share it here for discussion. If you disagree with the article itself, that's fine, but calling for it to be censored or accusing me of pushing an agenda simply because it's not what you want to read is misguided and lazy. Open debate requires different perspectives, not shutting down content you don't like.
