politics
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!

I wouldn't know, because I'm not a Republican.
Most of my posting history is for Socialist causes, so not sure if you are implying I am a Republican or not.
If so, that would be laughingly disconnected from reality.
You have a 16 day old account created in the midst of an election season filled with propaganda bots.
Your posting history is simply not valid evidence. Your logic sure seems disconnected from reality.
It’s funny that you point out the age of my account as evidence for your argument, yet you ignore my posting history, which actually provides stronger evidence for mine.
So is there a particular time limit, after joining Lemmy, that I have to wait to start posting my views? I didn't see that disclaimer when I signed up. How long did YOU wait to post after signing up?
I came here from reddit when the rumor of them starting to charge starting taking effect, so I didn't come here based on any magic election timing.
Nice that you decided to look up my profile, but unfortunately I haven't looked yours up, because I don't care that much.
Voting out of fear rather than conviction only perpetuates a system that fails to represent all voices; real change starts when people vote for what they truly believe in, not just what seems strategically safe.
There is a reasonable amount of time that could be considered with post history as demonstrating you aren't a bot, but 16 days just ain't it. You made the claim about your post history as evidence, I responded to YOUR claim based on a whopping 16 days worth of comments.
You are still fully disconnected from reality and reason. Your arrogance seems to drive your ego.
I didn't look up your profile, my mobile app automatically puts a tag next to a username on any new user with the number of days the account has existed. You're not that important or interesting.
I've never voted out of fear and never will. It's an easy choice to not vote for Jill Stein when I don't let cognitive dissonance blind me to her Putin associations. My strategy is always to vote in favor of People rather than Politics.
Well considering that I respond to posts and have had discussions with plenty of people on here and that I have created and mod 15 Lemmy communities, I actually have proven I am not a bot.
Also, how much time do I have to be on Lemmy before you consider me not a "bot"? Also, how long did YOU wait to start posting on Lemmy after you signed up?
But if I am a "bot," then how can i have arrogance and ego?!
I agree.
And I support and respect your choice to vote for who you want. Do you respect and support my choice to vote for who I want?
Also that photo has already been discussed.
