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!

Yes, and I’m sure that “doing something” makes them feel better. But it’s not gonna change a damn thing.
If I knew what would change a damn thing, I’d be doing it too. So, aside from wasting time in useless protests that the Trump administration is absolutely going to ignore, do you have some magic spell that can cause them to change their mind? Because protests aren’t gonna do it. Petitions aren’t gonna do it. Hell, someone trying to shoot Trump twice didn’t do it.
What do you propose as a solution? Just curious.
Not the guy you were talking to, but what I propose is on the one hand, donate and volunteer to campaigns targeting the 2026 midterms. Especially ones that can primary centrist or complement Democrat incumbents, but still win the general election. The Democratic party needs more firebrands right now.
On the other hand, in case our fears are true and we simply don't have any more fair elections, I suggest concurrently joining your local Socialist Rifle Association and making plans for resistance outside the bounds of the system. Take a first aid class, get your cardio going, become familiar with Signal, Tor, and other ways of covert communication. Save money. Make a bugout bag and get a plan to leave asap if necessary.
“try harder” or “arm for revolution”…. stellar choices we have
What other choices could there be? Join the fascists?
it’s not my job to think for you
It's your job to think for you. And it looks like you're on strike.
You "hey what should we do?"
Me "here are some options"
You "I don't like em"
Me "those are really the only options"
You "no bring me more, also you are stupid"
Yeah I'm just gonna report you for trolling at this point.
do I have to do all of your thinking for you?
You sure have a lot of opinions on what not to do.
I enjoy the fact that hurts you. Please, provide me more opportunities to cause you pain.
Or you could just stop talking. Are you capable of that?
Ha! Not sure what gave you the idea that your dumb words and thoughts hurt me in the least.
Are you capable of empathizing with others? All signs point to no.
Thanks for proving my point
Anytime! I will be here when you need me!
Awww! That's sweet! You do care about other people! 💗💗💗
Hallucinations about what?
I’m not your therapist. Take it up with whomever you pay to listen to all of your bullshit.
That isn’t me
And yet you keep replying! It's very nice of you to listen.
Advertising your stupidity is not a “win”
I am definitely losing by arguing with a fool. Oh well.
You seem to be the salty one.
You're doing the same thing. How in the world do you think you can control someone with a comment on Lemmy?
You project a lot. The life of an internet troll must be boring.
Says the person masturbating to hate.
Just having a conversation. You know, the entire point of platforms like this. But I guess shutting down the coversation is cool too.
If all of your “conversations “are trolling arguments, I pity anyone who has contact with you.
