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!

So you're ignorant to what you're doing? Are you just acting like a lost kid or do you not realize trump winning will push the world closer to ww3. Stop bitching, honestly you are contributing to a real threat of the end of the world. Hold harris accountable after we defeat the nazis. The good guys shouldnt fight each other before the main threat is gone. Anyone who continues too isnt really a good person. You can die on your hill all you want, but dont drag others onto it.
what will the good guys win if they fight together for a system that doesn't tolerate dissension and has a centuries long history of genocides as acceptable political collateral damage?
Not being killed emtionlessly. Trump will allow the slaughter of people around the world and not just in the country you care about.
that's literally what's happening right now and the people who could put a stop to it immediately, wont unless we vote for them.
No hun, neither are great choices for that fact. But one of them is saying they'll kill everyone, while the other kinda agrees sometimes while pandering to Isreal for whatever reason the people will never know.
So which do you want. The guy who will kill you and many more, or the ex cop who might do something maybe good.
the ex cop has done a lot bad stuff when it helped her in the past; so i'm not convinced that she will do the right thing for the genocide. it also doesn't help that she's not doing the right thing right now and defends it over and over again.
and the guy that we think wants to kill more has no history of doing so; he only wishes he could do what the ex cop is doing right now.
i think that the worst part it is that she will keeping doing it unless we vote for her and even then only after they're done with that timetable MLK Jr. wrote about.
So youre a plant acting in the benefit of Palestinian while supporting trump.
I need to learn how others tag people because your coment was so full of shit i almost threw up.
you'll know for sure if you can still see my activity after the election; however i recommend blocking instead of tagging since you're in safe space that leftists created for themselves and likely to encounter similar views in the future.
the ability for liberals to continue sticking their heads in the sand is the reason why trump is projected win; but i'm atleast glad that it's a feature in the lemmyverse to help stave off it's enshitification for as long as possible.
Oh sweet summer child, the Fediverse isn't the safe space you think it is. Just because Lemmy's devs are a bunch of tankie morons doesn't mean shit. The moment admins and mods use their power to force their dumb narrative, people find a new instance to call home.
That's why the vast majority of Lemmy users are on general purpose instances. The greater community is anti-Tankie and recognizes places like the ML instances and Hexbear to be the cesspools they are. Even if the ML instances are run by the Lemmy devs, they never became big like the Mastodon flagships because they have toxic admins.
As long as you're out spreading pro-Trump propaganda, people will be here to call you out on it. I'm sure you'd enjoy a block so we can turn a blind eye to you, but that's not what's going to happen. If the tankie gatekeeping you're doing keeps becoming a trend, you'll may soon find yourself blocked by all of your critics, because nobody will federate with your instances anymore. At least then you won't have any reach anymore and you can exist in the fringes where you belong.
And if the Lemmy devs prove to be a problem, Kbin and Mbin easily replace Lemmy. Tankies don't own the fediverse and never will.
quoted for posterity's sake.
fwiw it think you're right about the future.
