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!

Why is every doom and gloom political post always from a less than 1 month old account? Suspicious that.
I recently switched to Lemmy from Reddit. You can find a much longer post history from me on Reddit. Same username.
I just saw one of OPs posts from 3 days ago. They were one of those people saying Biden was committing genocide.
So they are just anti-Biden period and switched to a different criticism. The "genocide Joe" label wasn't sticking so they changed to the new one.
Safe to block.
Yes, I’ve been saying that for 9 months now. Because it’s true.
I don’t care about Biden being old. In fact, I think it’s sad that people care about his age more than they care about him committing genocide.
This post is about the Democrats being liars, not about Biden’s age.
There's literally no reason to believe you are the same person. We we believed that, it would be an excellent way to exploit us.
Even so, this ain't Reddit. You need to go ahead and learn that right now.
You're new here, and you're posting stuff that opposes the only person standing between America and a rapid fall into violent authoritarianism. Welcome to Lemmy and don't carry water for fascists if you want to have a good time.
Look, I'll vote for Biden this fall, because really, voting blue is the only serious option. And I'd be all for Weekend At Bernie's the entire 4 years of his second term; there is a chain of succession and he'll have people around him that are competent. I'm not worried about that. Anything else is helping donnie.
But c'mon. Is Biden the only candidate that the Democratic Party really has? Can he actually win? After that performance?
My profile on Reddit says “I'm done with Reddit. You can find me on Lemmy.World. Same username.”
Removed, civility.
I’ll assume that you’re resorting to ad hominem attacks because you’re unable to attack the substance of what I say.
I wasnt even thinking about ad hominems, I was stating that you being the same person is irrelevant when it comes to credibility. If I was gonna go to ad hominems youd damned well know.
Im an asshole, but I legit dont care enough about you or your opinions to waste mine time on ya beyond this point. I attacking your dumb idea that just cause you may or may not be the same person that ran that reddit account. I was attacking the idea that you migrating gives ya any credibility of not being bad faith, a troll, or anything else good or bad.
I aint gonna continue responding past this point for anything other than calling you a profligate, because frabkly speaking ya aibt interesting enough for me to waste my time with ya. Youre anti-Biden schtick is a dime a dozen here on Lemmy and frankly speaking I skip over it 90% of the time cause it breaks down to a difference of opinions. Im done now have a good day, night, or something in between.
I agree with the premise that OP may have an agenda. But let's be real - you pointing that out is an ad hominem attack.
Eh whatever, couldnt really care too much less at this point.
