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!

It’s a BS distraction. Nobody reporting on this honestly thinks this guy is a nazi. But they think they can knock him out of the race by running nazi stories about him.
It’s just like the phrase “globalize the intifada” being brought up in every single media interaction with Mamdani. He doesn’t say it, but simply doesn’t condemn people for saying it cause it has many meanings. He’s made it clear and yet every interview or debate I’ve see it is brought up.
Sure, let's pretend this is all some evil conspiracy theory against the guy who came out of nowhere a few months back and has the entire left leaning podcast space glazing him.
They are not "running nazi stories about him". They are reporting facts about a nazi tattoo he has. And then reporting facts about him defending said nazi tattoo after he had already denied understanding it was a fucking nazi tattoo.
I don't care if it is mother fucking trump screaming he has an SS skull on his chest while raping a toddler ian watkins style if there is actually a fucking SS skull on his chest that had been there for twenty years and through at least one crash out over defending the fucking SS skull.
This is the kind of shit that happens in really bad direct to VHS 24 ripoffs.
So you honestly believe this guy is a Nazi? He called himself a “radical left” in those same comments.
If it walks like a nazi, oppresses people as part of a paramilitary organization like a nazi (again, he willingly joined fucking Blackwater), and tattos its skin like a nazi?
I genuinely don't care how he says he'll vote (and trust him about as far as I can throw him). I just know he'll clearly have no problem hurting the people I love.
But nah, this was just a roman salute that he tattooed on his flesh for 20 years
