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!

Well you think they are dumb. But that's your opinion. And if you're tired of me and my articles, then why wouldn't you just block me? That way you don't see me or my articles. Genuine question.
I honestly thought I had blocked you. I guess I just blocked your dumb community that you made as an excuse to post more spam. I can deal with seeing a few of your posts around, it's funny watching everyone dunk on you.
Hey, you do you, man. All good. Thank you! :)
I love the toxicly positive response accompanied by a downvote. It's so you. Never change.
Well, wait. Actually do change. Just stop trying to convince Lemmings of whatever you're trying to convince them. It's not working.
What exactly do you think I’m trying to convince them of? Thank you! :)
Aman brother! We're just worshilling the devil-jesus! Something something DuPpOlY!
To not vote or to vote for Trump. It's fairly obvious. Maybe you yourself don't even realize.
I've already voted and I didn't vote for Trump.
I have always said people should vote for who they want to vote for. So you are just totally incorrect.
Do you think that if I post a news article on Lemmy that it's suddenly going to cause masses of people to suddenly switch their vote and vote for Trump?!
Do you realize how small Lemmy is? Especially compared to the news orgs that are publishing the articles that I post links to? Plus Lemmy is overwhelmingly pro-Harris, and many hate anyone who goes against the narrative.
So how is me posting a news article for a news org, trying to talk people into voting for Trump?! How influential do you think Lemmy is?! lol
Thank you, friend! :)
We don't care if Trump wins, after all -- all we care about is worshilling the satan-christ! Thanks friend!!!
Neat!
if you don't like the community, why don't you just leave? rhetorical question.
i'll answer for you: because you want a voice in the community. Same with people who disagree with you. once they block you, they lose their voice in disagreeing with you.
Because I like the community. I just think a lot of people want it to be an echo chamber, so they get mean and hateful. But not nearly mean and hateful enough to make me leave. So all good! Thank you! :)
