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!

Luigi his ass already! What a fucking loser he is.
All GOP elections “were stolen” when suffering such a loss… I would be embarrassed too, if I spent that “random winning money” the GOP voters were gifted and STILL were defeated by a LANDSLIDE! 😂 Drumpf is def cry texting his “friends” about it! Lmao!?
Damn, Epstein is dead… guess we don’t know who he was “texting” lmao!!!!
Remember folks: its always projection with these fucks. This means they are doing this but it didn't work. And I'm not talking about the millions this dipshit lost.
Really? I want to know how Leon Hitler manipulated the voting machines in the swing states.
I didn’t win an election I was trying to rig, it must be a fix.
What a fucking flex 😂
You have to understand his perspective. He paid for it, so he thinks it's his
What? Just because he did not get what he paid bribes for?
I wear a cheese hat
Your arguments are invalid
he payed for that election fair and square!!!
Poor Musk was robbed, he was promised that if he paid generously, the election result would be guaranteed. In the end he was cheated, it's unfair. Cry, Cry, crocodile tears. 😭
I want to know why anyone still uses that shitty Nazi site he bought.
Unfortunately, the art community is still big. No other platform has as much engagement with small time artists. I use it just for that. Sometimes Ill get curious and see political tweets. They're almost always filled to the brim with comments spouting: hate, disinformation or deflection. You'll see sane comments but the algorithm buries them. I'm sure most are bots but the nazi-ism is definitely boosted.
I've made accounts on bsky, pixelfed and cara and post there also. Unfortunately the masses haven't moved to those yet so commissions and posts are sparse.
Would be interesting if everyone still stuck using it consistently advertised a discount for finding them on any site besides Twitter. Might not make the biggest difference by itself but it could start a trickle that turns into the flood.
Basically a surcharge for users that only know Twitter or otherwise wouldn't be bothered by the noise. Maybe call it a tarrif that can be easily avoided :)
Twitter overtook deviant art?
Because it’s the site where you can follow and interact with the most people.
No one in their right mind should want to interact with the nazi-loving scum on that shit hole.
It's almost as if there are many different people on that website.
And if they're still on there they're supporting a Nazi shit head. People need to migrate their communities. Stop being lazy. Stop being part of the problem. Get off the nazi website
Another way to look at it is like having to use Windows because that's what they use at your job. There's a problem but because most people are oblivious or don't care, the momentum is difficult to escape. You may find it easy to say 'quit you job then' to fully show your disapproval but not everyone has that luxury.
I do hope everyone that is stuck using it mentions in every commission or interaction that they are available on different sites as well though.
Anyone still using it or of convenience though should quit immediately.
I actually looked up the people I follow on X on other platforms such as Mastodon & Bluesky, I found 0 on Mastodon and 3 on Bluesky...
Who/what do you follow that is worth supporting the app? I have never used Twitter/x, I'm genuinely curious
A few examples include Drop Site, Aymeric Canon, Mary Kostakidis, Bruno Tertrais, Marco Botenga MEP, Régis Le Sommier, Dr Jimmy Mohamed, Ian Caroll, Rachel Blevins, Scott Ritter, Trita Parsi, Kenneth Roth, Dominique De Villepin...
Thanks for sharing! If those are really important to you, you're in a bit of a pickle that I don't envy.
Many people, especially on Lemmy, pretend to live extremely virtuously. The reality is we each make some compromises in our lives.
Oh yeah absolutely, I hope you don't think I was passing any judgement
No, I didn’t think you were passing judgement, and I appreciate your balanced take. I was referring to other people.
Ok cool. Yeah sometimes I wish I could see only black and white, seems like an easy way to live.
And its a shitty thing for each of them to use the website.
You're entitled to your opinions.
You spelled bots wrong homie.
Sure, there are bots. There are also a lot of real people, politicians, journalists, analysts, software engineers etc.
I actually tried to replace X a few weeks ago and considered Mastodon and Bluesky. Nobody I follow on X is on Mastodon, and only three are on Bluesky.
Go outside? I have never used Twitter and live a perfectly normal life. I have access to plenty of information and opinions from paid subscriptions to newspapers and personal blogs. No one can communicate anything serious on Twitter. For sport highlights or similar - I get it. For anything else - a social tool - people have simply forgotten to go outside and do real stuff with real people. You are lying to yourself by saying Twitter provides something you can't live without.
You answer to finding a platform that provides most of the information I want to have is to ... go outside? Do you think that's even remotely helpful?
Dont be lazy and find it elsewhere? I didnt realize twitter was where all new things come from.
I'm guessing you didn't read my comment two steps above...
I guess maybe? Since technically, he did buy it, right? But this is sort of like calling the cops because someone stole your heroin, isn’t it??
