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!

You should go away.
Why? This place shouldn't be an echo chamber.
Who says it shouldn't if the alternative is filled with dickheads?
I'm a dickhead because I'm not a liberal or a Democrat? Wow...how very "Reddit" of you.
You're a dickhead because you side with fascists.
Don't be daft.
"Hey everyone, we should only have ONE party in control and ONE way of thinking, and ONE way of creating laws..."sincerely, Democrats.
But, I'm the fascist right? GTFO..
You should educate yourself on what fascism is.
Also, let's not pretend anyone said anything about having only "one party in control".
You're just digging your hole deeper by saying increasingly stupid things.
But, that's what the Left wants...it literally wants a 100% Liberal/Democrat system. Even Republicans know that there needs to be balance, and we're okay with Democrats and some liberal ideologies...but the Left? Hell no...they literally want to wipe out all Republicans and Conservatives. Just look at the opinions on Lemmy and Reddit? Lol...
You don't know shit about anything.
It's ridiculously comical actually.
You proclaim to be so certain of what this monolithic boogeyman left wants despite claiming to not be a member of that group and at the same time represent yourself to be a member of the equally monolithic "right".
I'm literally wasting my time talking at you I think at this point because you have no ability to comprehend reality.
Given your attitude, I think you are demonstrating that reality not the alternative.
Social science is not absolute. There are not just 2 sides. The group you've chosen to identify with are not always correct.
