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!

Rachel Maddow is a genocide apologist...
Yes, but that's 100% irrelevant.
What's next, you going to attack normalizing relations with Cuba by pointing out the many war crimes Obama committed in the middle east?
Not helpful in any way.
I don't think she's any kind of moral authority
Being wrong about one thing does not preclude someone from being correct about a completely unrelated thing. Grow up.
Telling someone who holds our leaders accountable for genocide support to grow up is fucking rich.
What does Rachel Maddow lead..?
Thought leadership. Influence.
Calling a comment about rachel fucking maddow on lemmy 'holding our leaders accountable' is straight up pathetic shit. Go actually do something or find a new tune to sing.
She’s a leader regardless of if I like her or not. She has a ton of influence and she uses that to cheerlead the blue MAGA democrats who can’t do nothing wrong not even a genocide is worthy of criticism to the vote blue no matter who types who can’t figure out how or why they lost an election.
Maybe if your kind - blue MAGA - learned to grow the fuck up and hold their leaders accountable instead of being pussies the democrats wouldn’t have lost the election. You know, demand they hold a primary and stop funding israel. But that’s too hard, let’s lose to fascists instead! And then ratchet further to the right!
Aha. You don't know the difference between influential and leadership.
Yeah, like Curtis yarvin isn’t the leader of the “dark enlightenment” fascist MAGA bullshit and has the ear of Musk and Thiel.
Nah he’s just an influencer. “Thought leaders” are only a linked in phenomenon I guess.
