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!

Cool story…
Check this out: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/12/17/politics/jill-stein-senate-intelligence
your disgusting amp link doesn't show anything of import.
“Nothing of important?” Did you mean… importance?
And… it shows Jill Stein being propped up by Russian troll farms. Vet culinary to what we have here on lemmy.
Go ahead and get your last word in, I’m done wasting my time in this useless discussion.
do you know how i know that you're not well-read?
The opening letter of every sentence must always be capitalized. Also, “I” is the only pronoun that must always be capitalized.
I’d think someone that accuses others of not being “well-read” would know this.
i'm anticapitalist
Go away troll.
calling me names doesn't change whether you're making up baseless accusations
of course, if janis joplin wanted to sing a song about a mercedes benz, that song would be of great social and political import.
Okay… you’re clearly a troll trying to waste my time. So… We’re done here.
Blocking you, so don’t bother responding.
oh thank god.
calling me names won't change the facts

LOL
ROFL!!! You really should read your own article bud. It says nothing about the troll farm NOT supporting Stein. The charges were dropped for completely unrelated issues.
Also, a case being dropped doesn’t indicate no wrongdoing. I’d urge you to look up how nuance works as a concept and then apply that to everthing to see and hear-
But we both know you’re not going to do that. It’s much easier to make shit up, isn’t it?
Aww.. you're sad they didn't have evidence. Pity.
Stein is not in prison, and is back on the campaign trail, they wouldn't allow it if they had a shred of evidence. Notice how you vaguely say there is without presenting any.
Loving this beatdown of your pathetic attempt portray her as Russian funded!
My god man. If it weren’t for straw men, you’d never have a point to debate, would you?
I never once said Stein broke any rules. So… why would she be in prison? What I said was- and was backed up factually with evidence was-
Russian troll farms were spreading pro Stein propaganda. This is not up for debate. And it’s becoming more and more suspicious that so many people here seem to want to repeat the same bullshit from back in 2016.
It’s almost as if…..
Naaaah! It can’t be. It’s not possible that Russia is trying to manipulate people using lemmy?
Is it?
Don’t bother responding. I’m going to block you now. This discussion is useless when you keep making up new narratives to argue against.
Finally, the last resort of the liberal: calling me Russian when they lost the argument!
You're so sad Stein isn't in prison like you want.
