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!

Then stop blocking his educational legislation that delete exploitative education loans.

I mean this is the woman who thinks Hitler was right about some things right? Why won't they stop reporting on her?

Blocking good things, then blaming the Democrats for not doing good things, is part of their overall strategy of lying hypocritical bullshit.

[–] RichardBonham@kbin.social 33 points 1 year ago

If you watch the video on the site. From about 40 seconds in till about 2 minutes when they cut away from her speech it's actually a really good pro Biden speech. They should just play that clip of her in Vote Biden commercials.

Lmao is this like the political version of integer underflow? If she suddenly popped out on the other side of the spectrum to the left of Bernie, that’d be hilarious. If only…

I want this to happen please! To American GOP: please become leftists to own the libs, I beg of you.

[–] cultsuperstar@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Oh no! Not addressing issues that actually matter and impact millions of Americans! Not on her watch!

And all her lunatic supporters are all about it lol.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

He should stick to the real issues, like nuking hurricanes and shilling beans from the Whitehouse.

[–] fignewton@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If people would just stop clicking on headlines which mention her, the coverage would stop and we could all enjoy our summer.

Ignoring cancer doesn't make it go away.

Republicans think they just have to use the words "socialist" or "radical" or both for it to constitute an attack. That's the entire vocabulary.
