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!

Does anything I say ever change your mind?
I dunno about you specifically but one of your ilk convinced me that Social Democracy is not really socialism and is more like a flavor of Liberalism. Just off the top of my head. Another one convinced me that some forms of anarchy are a viable system of government, though not my preferred one.
I don't understand. My ilk? Care to clarify what ilk I am of?
And because people you knew talked about social democracy and anarchy, you decided that I must have some sinister agenda?! I'm not clear about the connection you are making.
They don't need to say it
Maybe they are afraid to say it.
Maybe you're too cowardly to admit what you are doing.
But I have said what I am doing. Multiple times. You are the one that thinks I'm lying. So it's up to you to tell us what your theory is.
Admit the truth and hundreds of people can move on.
I have. What do you think the truth is if you don't believe mine?
I meant the truth. Not just a deflection. Why in the name of fuck would you endure near universal hate all the time? What could you possibly get out of it?
Do I really get universal hate? Because every time I bring that up, people tell me I’m just playing the victim and it’s not true at all. So now I’m just confused.
Do random anonymous comments online actually matter to you so much that you can’t understand how someone else might not care about that kind of nonsense? Wow.
Well, you do you. But me? I’m not bothered by the haters—if there are any, that is. Some people here say I’m just imagining it and playing the victim, while you’re saying I get "universal hate." Whew! Things shift pretty fast around here!
Blah blah blah. I can read, just blabbering on doesn't make my ability to read disappear. Yes, practically every interaction you have is someone telling you what you're doing is awful
Ok, so we are going with the whole universal hate for me thing, and not me just making it up and being a victim cuz everyone is really nice to me. Right? I just wanna get some clarity where we are today.
I have no idea what this means. You may have me mixed up with one of your other 200 haters
You literally said: "I meant the truth. Not just a deflection. Why in the name of fuck would you endure near universal hate all the time? What could you possibly get out of it?" https://lemmy.world/comment/12438004
Did you forget our conversation already?
I know you're just trying to frustrate me into insulting you. I obviously was talking about this incoherent babble
What do you mean?! I'm not sophisticated enough to trick you. Come on man, you know that. Besides, I like you!
So not gonna address the fact that this made zero sense either huh? I said nothing about everyone being nice to you but here you are raving about that.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Ah that old chestnut. Every time something looks bad on you, you play dumb.
Come on, friend. You know me better than that. I'm not sophisticated enough to use that ploy.
Oh, so then you will explain why you just said I claimed everyone is nice to you?
So you don't think people are nice to me, then?
