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!

Apparently even insane people know not to vote for a fascist!

WHOOP WHOOP!

Juggalos have always been weirdly wholesome and okay as people. Yeah, it's a weird subculture to me. But not bad. The biggest negative I can say about the juggalos that I've met is that they all want to talk about ICP and marijuana all the time. But they treat people decently, and seem to be fairly progressive. I can live with that.

Fucking MAGAs, how do they work?

No really, how do you function being so god damn stupid you think a man who qualifies for being the Beast of Revelation is God's Chamion?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It's racism. Always has been.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

even if i dont care for everything else they represent, i applaude their touch of sensibility here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They are famous and that's all that matters in amerikkka

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

and thats one of their more boggling representations

A guy in clown makeup calling himself Violent J: "I am endorsing Kamala Harris because she's a Democrat and I love my mom."

Really hard to argue... For several reasons

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago

They don't know how magnets work but they know fascists suck.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Hopefully that helps with Michigan.

The Daily Show’s Troy Iwata did an excellent piece about the Gathering of the Juggalos. I wonder if his interview with Violent J had an effect on this decision.

Edit: oh, I posted this before I read the article. This interview is what they’re considering the endorsement.

If you haven't seen it, American Juggalo is a very good short documentary on the subject. They are mostly a bunch of outcasts that have found a place to express themselves and find like minded individuals. A surprisingly wholesome and accepting crowd.....minus the violence lol

Makes sense, Juggalos hate fascists and despite Kamala being a cop, Trump is the bigger fascist.

Although it is weird to see Eminem and ICP on the same side of something.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Also Taylor Swift. What a world we live in.

I was curious so I looked it up.

In 1997 Eminem put out flyers for a show that said "with ICP (maybe)"

And they got kind of pissed about that, which they have a right to. But they've been over it for 20 years now.

Fucking crazy it's 2024 and that was almost 30 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I would have shown up if I were them-surprise Eminem at his own show and support the Michigan music scene at once.

Edit: perhaps not just the Michigan music scene, I assumed this was before Eminem got big, but 1997 is definitely after his big break

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

1997 was before his big break. At this point, he was Rap Olympics famous, not signed to Dr. Dre famous.

As an old wrestling fan from the late 90s, how did 2024 manage to make me cheer for the ICP while booing the undertaker and Steve Austin?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Hulk Hogan's been a known POS for a long time. I held out hope about guys like undertaker at least being reasonably people

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Fuckin Hulkster man, but it turns out he's always been a dick, ask Jesse Ventura

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Cuz Steve always sucked

3:16 is how many dicks he sucked at a time and for how many hours

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I guess I wasn't really watching wrestling by then, but recently I found out that he was on the run for like a couple days and surrendered to police in 2002 after beating the shit out of his wife Debra. Dude is a piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

Hey, let's not discourage dick sucking marathons.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was undecided, but this did it for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you’re a juggalo now?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, your mom got that clussy, so...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, def a juggalo. Corny af

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

Kamala promised to explain how magnets work.
