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!

Democrats: "If you don't vote for Kamala you're a Russian."
If you actively go to the polls and while you're there – instead of voting for Kamala Harris, the only viable candidate against Trump's pro-Russia fascism – you choose to vote for a Russia-planted spoiler candidate and you live in a state that's not safe red or safe blue, then yes, you are pro-Putin's regime, and you unequivocally suck ass as a person.
If you go cast your vote at the polls and you're so braindead that you can't fathom another third-party candidate is running without being a Russian agent in disguise, and you're so scared that your candidate that you've convinced yourself is a perfect deity still might lose to a lunatic, then maybe you should re-evaluate why it is that people no longer trust Democrats blindly like you think they should.
The only reason she loses is cause the peasants didn't know what was good for the economy.
And what about the huge group of people who care more about morals than money? Just fuck them? Oh no, I forgot, they are Russians right?
Do you really not see how your intolerance is exactly the same as republicans? You know you can vote democrat and still criticize them too right?
People do not like to be "nitpicked" it makes them feel bad so then they get to lash out and hurt others because they were "hurt" by being asked to correct or better themselves.
And then everyone applauds their bravery for standing up for themselves cause they want to be the bullies too. And it's easy to regard the people being told off as lesser or not people.
Let he who hasn't dined at the same table as Putin cast the first stone.
What do you mean that's everyone but Jill?
Hey, Michael Flynn was there, too.
Using your logic, Obama is a Russian agent too.
Quoting verbatim from a previous comment of mine because it's literally not worth my time to come up with something original to the same exact stupid, worthless argument:
“They’re the same picture.”
Boy, ~~Russian bots~~ Jill Stein stans are really tripping over each other to see who’s the biggest, dumbest idiot, aren’t they?
You mean the same investigation that found no evidence that Jill Stein was working with Russia? Let me guess, in your mind she's so deep and undercover that it is more about a feeling than needing any evidence at all.
"Useful idiot"
Democrat Stans really are tripping all over each other to see who's the biggest, most intolerant facist, aren't they?
Damn, you're so right. I hate faces. They make me so angry grrrrr
FUCK ALL THE FACES!
Edit: TheTechnician said it far better than I did.
Leftists: The Green Parry isn’t a throwaway vote at all! Here’s my 40 paragraph manifesto that explains it all with YouTube links and op-ed opinion pieces to validate the proof!
Catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror?
"No you."
Compelling argument. /s
Almost as convincing as you calling a US citizen in Washington state a Chinese Government agent. Maybe if you want to be taken seriously in the future, actually provide some facts or say something productive.
I didn't call you anything, I just mocked your attempt at a PeeWee Herman defense. Maybe if you want to be taken seriously in the future you should learn how screen names work so you don't embarrass yourself.
Dear god, why would you think I give enough of a shit about you to have any alt accounts? Maybe see a therapist about the persecution complex and delusions of grandeur.
Yeah, that's how Lemmy works. It says your account is a year old, you should have been able to figure it out by now.
Maybe don't make weak-ass arguments if you're gonna get all butthurt when people call them out.
Quick without google, what is Washington's State bird? /s we know you'll google it.
What does Washington have anything to do with it. Wumao are everywhere.
I'm guessing you prob hear them whispering in your walls at night.
Projection.
Yes we established that about you already
Projection
Yes I know you are
Are you 12 years old?
No, why are you looking for a 12 year old on here? So gross.
Yeah, time for a block. Have a good one moron.
Finally some peace from ignorance
