I realize that this is a very hot political season. Its impossible to keep a "good vibes" feel with this year's election politics, so I'm not asking for "Don't be an Ass" or other such naive statement. But please try to be on your best behavior. This is "BestOfLemmy", and not a political debate site.

I've nuked a couple of subthreads that have gotten too hot. Please report anything you think is unhelpful to the greater discussion. I'll remove distracting posts as I see them, but I don't promise "good moderation" here. I'm just gonna cleanup what I can see and when I see it.


The general rule for "BestOfLemmy" is to be an appropriate place for a Lemmy beginner to get a feel of Lemmy in general. Yall are somewhat forgiven for the heated topic, but its not a complete pass. Try to keep the perspective of "newbies to Lemmy are stopping by here first". And think about how you'd like to present yourself to them.

This is my guiding principle for moderation. This isn't a debate subsite, or debate community. I'm not necessarily interested in having everyone here complete their back-and-forth discussion (especially if it gets heated, swear words, accusatory tones, etc. etc.).

What if I hate America and voted for Kamala?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 93 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Thank you for having more mercy than hatred.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 57 points 2 months ago

I just hate Donald Trump more.

Idk who nuxcom is but is this really a contender for best of Lemmy? You see the same comment in every other post so is this person that special or do we have a slow day?

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

My vote is very much on slow day and, given a choice, would nuke this thread entirely, if that helps.

If folk MUST steal other's work, at least pick something that is semi-uniquely them and not literally a post made while taking a shit.

America is like 100x more powerful than Russia, so it's really fucking weird that an ex-president is beholden to Putin.

It's money and blackmail for sure.

"If you don't vote Harris, you hate America"

Great way to convince the folks at hexbear and .ml to vote Trump

[-] m_f@midwest.social 71 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They weren't going to vote for Harris anyways. If she magically brought peace to the middle east tomorrow, they'd find some other reason to not vote for her.

[-] viking@infosec.pub 17 points 2 months ago

As if anyone of them is old enough to vote. They sound like 14 at most.

Yeah the constitution totally doesn't need a rewrite or a few extra amendments thrown in
