Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

They're going to change the name to Wokesylvania and you'll have to be a gay trans to live there. Look it up.

Transylvania was right there man

VOTE FOR ME OR THE LIBERAL MEDIA GIVES YOUR SON A FUCKING STUFFED SHARK AND KNEE HIGH SOCKS

You are too old to be corrupted

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Well maybe not with that attitude!

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’VE GOT A BOX FULL OF PINK WHITE AND BLUE KNEE HIGHS HERE, AND THIS GROUP OF ELECTORS OF A DUBIOUS ORIGIN. WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE?

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whoa whoa whoa, lets all calm down now. No need to do anything rash.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Alright then, let’s talk bidness. Are you going to vote for the old man and the sea, or a sentient piece of stupid cheddar?

[–] Steve@startrek.website 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

[–] Thade780@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I am a straight trans gal, is there space for me?

Sorry, lady. If you wanted to be trans and stay in ~~Pennsylvania~~ Wokesylvania, you should have thought about it first and gotten a girlfriend. Now get into Ohio!

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

C'mon man, Transylvania is right there

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Even better. Shit, that could be a bumper sticker.

[–] skulblaka@startrek.website 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's bad form to name a place after another place.

Kicks New York, New Hampshire, and New Mexico under the rug

[–] athos77@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

Fucking typical, everyone forgets about New Jersey ....

That's why I am happy I live in Springfield.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How dare you damn someone to Ohio. Bah gawd, that lady’s got a family!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wokesylvania will not tolerate the evil non-gay! Except child, of course. How can the Gay Agenda be enacted otherwise? Children must be corrupted into gayness by drag queen story hours.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Fuck, our dastardly plan is being foretold far too early for this part of the movie! Science damnit!

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh, I'm sure they'd just LOVE YOU.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

The liberal media has already corrupted you and, therefore, we have no interest in further altering you.

Damn, I was really hoping for Trumpgofuckyourselfania.

[–] donuts@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

They're gonna make us microdose edibles every morning. To make matters worse there'll be a taco truck on every corner.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I hear it will be turned in to a monarchy and they will crown Taylor Swift Queen for single handedly helping Biden solidify the win in this election.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Checks out. I looked it up.
