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!

Don’t say shit if you can’t show the work.
Maybe stop telling me what to do! You're giving commands like an English teacher and it's kind of annoying. You can do your own research, I'm not here to debate, just left a quick comment. Bye.
As I figured. You got nothing.
Thanks for playing!
Wow cool!! Anyone who doesn't want to do twenty minutes of research on command for you has nothing!
Cool indeed. I showed anyone reading along what they would need to see from you- which is that you’re all talk.
Now you’re just trying to save face by going on the offensive. You took a swing and there’s no reason to be that upset about it.
That you missed so catastrophically…. Yeah. You probably should be upset about that.
Oh my God lmao you have no idea what is going here bro I am just ignoring you
I’d apologize for asking you to support your claim with proof, if it were a thing that could be considered insulting or some sort of personal attack, but no-
All I did was tried to get you to provide evidence to back up your point.
So I’m not sure why you’re pulling out the “bro” on me. Your claim doesn’t hold water. And you know it.
Bro.
here's the notification you seem to want
the fact that you are so insulted by "bro" 😂😂😂
Apologies again, for having the nerve to ask you to back up your shit. I understand that it’s offensive to people that like to make shit up.
I do not want to write an essay and/or debate with you! 🙂
You spelled “I can’t back up my bullshit” wrong.
Wow you really want these notifs
You could always just…. Not respond. That would stop giving me what I want if that were the case, wouldn’t it?
I mean, YOU were the one that was going to ignore me, right?
Lastly, all I was trying to do was get you to provide some evidence to support your bullshit. You have none, then claim to not want to waste the time- yet have all the time in the world to continue this discussion.
That pretty much plays right into proving my point from the beginning: You have nothing. And I’ve proven that.
Now that it’s settled- I’m going to show you how to shut down a troll.
Ready?
I'm not reading this but here you go; ping!
well, that escalated quickly
It's not really an escalation, more like a, fuck off I'm not interested in engaging in a debate with citations. Anyone else can provide any evidence one way or the other if they would like to. I am using Lemmy casually atm and a well researched comment takes quite a while, don't want to do it rn
This dude has bad memories with his English teacher.
My English teacher was a vocal Zionist, so actually yeah.
