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!

Wow, both of you are accusing each other of being paid actors.
Why don't you try having a civil conversation instead of the personal attacks?
Thats ridiculous coming from you, you’re one of the most offensive people on here lol
I've had less then 50 out of the 7400 comments I've made removed.
That's less than a percent of them so I can't be that offensive.
Having a comment removed is not a good measure. I have comments removed, accounts banned, all the time. But it’s usually because I’m advocating for the death of billionaires, and apparently that’s a bad thing 🤷♂️
I'm still on my original account and I only had one for Reddit too.
Cool
So anyways I can't be that offensive is what I'm trying to say.
Lol you're so cringe
I work in the private sector now, making textbooks for kids
Haha, look everyone, they failed the test!
Say it.
Lol this is so cringe 😆😆😆 Like, you think I'm Chinese, or possibly an agent of the CCP, and so therefore, all arguments against killing children in Gaza are somehow null and void. Literally everything I've ever said about my personal life on this user account could be a lie! What then!?
And what if Donald Trump said killing children in Gaza is morally unacceptable. Would he also be wrong!?
Let's not forget what we are actually talking about: YOU THINK THE US GOVERNMENT'S COMPLICITY IN KILLING GAZAN CHILDREN IS JUSTIFIABLE AND OK and that people like me, who disagree with it, should shut up and vote for the people who have idly stood by and let it happen
Why don't you just say it?
Because they pretty much admitted to working for the Chinese government by saying they NOW work in the private sector, suggesting they once did not.
My bet is, side gig working from home to pick up extra cash in the evening.
Because I don't do what strange people tell me to do on the internet. I'm insane enough to argue with strangers on the internet but I'm not an idiot. It's all your game to deflect from the fact that YOU THINK KILLING GAZAN CHILDREN WITH US-PROVIDED WEAPONS IS OK AS LONG AS IT'S DONE BY A DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION
You already admitted to working for them by saying you’re in the private sector “now” 🤡
Whoopsie, you slipped.
OK and?
YOU PEOPLE ARE OK WITH KILLING CHILDREN
No we aren’t. I don’t know anyone, especially on Lemmy, who is okay with what is going on. The united state’s current position is very disappointing.
However, and I’ll use caps to mock you, YOU ARE OKAY WITH YOUR GOVERNMENT KILLING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND SUPPORT THEM COVERING UP THEIR CRIMES.
The big difference between you and I is, I’m against ALL authoritarian governments—whereas you are actively in favor of them.
There is very little that I can do to effect change on a global level but, unlike you, I am not afraid to speak out against my own government’s actions.
You commenters are very much OK with Gazan children dying, as you want me to vote for Team Blue despite my moral reservations. You are fine with the US selling weapons to Israel as long as its a Team Blue administration doing it.
You guys are trying to turn this into a referendum about me personally, which I find rather disgusting, but also amusing 😆 I mean, you're posting during East Asian daytime hours. Perhaps YOU are Chinese spies based in Beijing!
Also what authoritarian government have I ever endorsed? You're just putting words in my mouth and making assumptions that are off the topic here, which, again, is that YOU THINK DEAD CHILDREN IN GAZA IS ACCEPTABLE
I’m not paying attention to any other comments.
Show me you don’t support an authoritarian government by saying:
Two hours now… probably just in the shower
Right ;) soaking in a bath.
I think I found the hexbear/ML silver bullet.
He'd get applauded for only saying thousands.
Heck, I’ll clap if they say a few dozen.
