politics
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!

Getting in my practice runs. I'd suggest you guys start working on your cardio now, it'll be easier on you than having to develop your endurance at the end of a DOGE cattleprod.
^ Wut the acktual phuck are you even talking about here?
How did the people on Lemmy bring about the jackbooted thug shit at this town hall?
Didn't hear the little tinpot dictator drop his line about "consequences?"
Lemmy alone didn't do shit because there's not enough of us to matter. Spreading suspiciously poorly phrased rhetoric is about more than one little corner of the internet though.
They repeat it to their friends. They said it on Twitter before leaving.
And the people who said it there kept saying and defending it here. All because they can't figure out that a slogan that needs a paragraph of explanation to properly understand as anything but an attack on liberty is a bad fucking slogan.
The fascists won't change their actions because of it, they'll do what they want to their "enemies" because that's what a fascist is, but they'll toss the idiot words back in our faces while the brainless horde of "centrists" will bob their little brainlet cases and go "Yeah. These are the consequences for your harmful speech!"
