A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!

The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.

Content Rules:

  1. Self posts preferred.
  2. Opinion pieces and editorials are allowed on a case by case basis.
  3. No spam or self promotion.
  4. Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.

Commentary Rules

  1. Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
  2. Stay on topic.
  3. Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
  4. Provide credible sources whenever possible.
  5. Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
  6. Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
  7. Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).

Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

I do so love being the most awful gender of the most awful race of the most awful country of the most awful species in the worst of all possible worlds.

And I’m supposed to make friends with these assholes?

That's a little self hating, don't you think? Not to mention sexist and racist.

A lot of men are finding out that they aren't actually white enough for the Republican Party.

Maybe the answer is only letting black men vote next time.

Or we could give their votes more power. Something like... each of their votes counts for 5/3 votes. I think that would be a fair compromise.

This is an excellent comment, got a solid chuckle out of me.

They missed out a whole lot of votes I think getting one is only fair.

Latino men... You know he fucking hates you, right? Or at least, the base he panders to does.

That's really racist of you. Most Latinos are not illegal immigrants. A lot of illegal immigrants aren't Latino.

You really need to get those harmful stereotypes out of your mind.

Edit: not to mention that illegal immigrants can't vote. This is a measure of voters. There aren't any illegal immigrants in this poll.

Commenter didn't say anything about illegal immigrants.

Trump hates illegal immigrants, not Latinos. Y'all already know this, it's common knowledge.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure Trump/MAGA hate all PoC.

Jesus dude. The entire world doesn't base their views entirely upon what you personally believe. Many people actually have their own ideas and motivations that have nothing at all to do with your infantile perspective of politics. Occasionally, when presented with something that defies your expectations, it's reasonable to step back and reconsider what you believe.

I’m not convinced he has cares about anyone. Looks like black Americans are the smartest men here.
