Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party's potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

If they already claim for citizenship revokal now, one can imagine how bad it can get when there are actual elections coming ...

If they revoked a U.S. citizens of his citizenship, that will provoke nation wide protests across the U.S., you dont revoked citizenship unless someone has done something extremely egregious, and there are very very few cases of that ever happening in the U.S. (maybe none, I havent looked it up).

I personally will not sit down and just take these wackjobs shit laying down. This country is everybody's, not just the far-right dipshits christofascist playground.

This guy has done literally nothing except want a better future for people. That's not a crime.

So, to be a republican you must be a whiny little ass baby

For the sake of consistency, I would revoke the citizenship of everybody who's not a native American. Because ya know, it's in the name... "Native American": either you're one, or you're a terrible immigrant who should be deported.

Including the terrible son of German and Scottish immigrants currently soiling the White House.

Don't Republicans hate New York? You'd think they'd be thrilled with the opportunity for socialism to ruin one of the bluest cities in the US. Maybe they're worried something else will happen.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 days ago

They love New York/Wall Street, because that's where the money is, but they hate all the liberal artsy stuff.

As a perpetually online individual I could swear that "conservatives" absolutely hated "thought crime" and political persecution for their beliefs...

Ohhhhh right, hypocrisy. I almost forgot. "Conservatives" use words as weapons and are only consistent in their inconsistent stated beliefs.

Do Republicans Know What Communism Is?

Short answer: No.

More precise answer: They don't have a fucking clue.

Most relevant answer: No and they don't really care, but they will still call you a communist and kick you out of the country if you annoy them.

Edit to add archive.ph link if desired.

If he does try to do this, Democrats will fall over themselves to explain why they support the action, but quibble on how the paperwork was filed to implement it.

Everyone else asks God to shoot captive bolts into MAGA foreheads but we can't always get what we want.

This shows how scared they are of him. This is a bellwether moment.

This is a bellwether moment.

More like a bellend moment...

I am becoming increasingly sick of seeing the word 'deport' being used by Republicans who are suggesting revoking citizenship and a banishment. It's exile.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Deporting immigrants is one thing. But when a country starts deporting it's own citizens, and stripping them or reducing their citizenship to justify their treatment, well... before you know it, the half-citizen deportees end up coming out of the concentration camps through the chimney.

"We are all domestic terrorists"

They already told us who they are, and nothing they've done would indicate otherwise.

Ideologically divided, yes. That old rift between the two ideologies of "try to govern mostly okay" and "where's my check from AIPAC?".
