politics
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!

Lemmy really has it in for you. Reflexive downvotes for your name apparently!
Anyway, have my upvote.
Gee I wonder why!
Because you all have a hate hard on?
Like how much do you all hate this person that you downvote them being polite after I correct them misgendering me?
If you don't like somebody's politics down vote the politics but don't hate on the person.
How much do you know about OP? You've claimed you're voting for Harris. If you understood that this user has spent countless hours per day for two months trying to direct votes away from Harris, you probably would have no problem understanding the hate for them.
Hey, just because we spread dangerous and wildly unpopular ideas in a space where our ideas elicit visceral hatred, that doesn’t mean we can’t shill for the Trump-devil-Jesus-Vladdie. Amen brother!
I see all your down votes and I can't help thinking shut up I'm talking.
It's like lemmy forgot about genocide and is just trying to get back to brunch ever since Biden dropped.
Amen sister! Once Trump ends democracy, we can outlaw brunch because some people who vote for democracy like it. Take that, sHiTlIbS! Thank you!
And thanks for using the correct gender I appreciate it.
What democracy? It's fascism or fascism light. I'm voting for Kamala because I'm practical. But let's not pretend this is about democracy. Because the choice is a false one.
This country is run by money and privilege. Not our votes.
This is confusing. I thought you were trying to help us destroy America tho?
Yeah, they do. It's hilarious though. Many posters say variations of "No one here likes you! When are you going to finally go away?!" or "I see this posters name, I downvote! Easy. haha."
But when I mentioned it, then I get variations of "You have the worst case of Main Character Syndrome I have ever seen!" or "No one cares about you or pays attention to you at all, get over yourself!"
Yet someone decided to post stats of my downvotes: over 45,000 downvotes (which I promptly put in my profile).
So I guess they DO care. They just don't like what I have to say. And it won't stop me from speaking out.
Thanks for your support and kind words, comrade!
Friend, just because you get 50 downvotes for every upvote doesn't mean everyone hates you. There are probably some people who didn't vote. Hey, kinda like what we're trying to do here in the first place. Thank you!
Sister or comrade, please. And you're welcome!
Take care comrade.
Updated and corrected. Thank you!
People even down voting you for being polite.
