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!

I thought we were Green party, here. Libertarians? Ethics?
What's the plan, friend?
Green Party is for nerds.
Libertarians listen to Winger and smoke ditchweed pinners. They're the cool guys.
I upvoted purely for the Winger comment. Hilarious!
I'm def the nerd Green guy; I don't even know what ditchweed pinners are, but I'm assuming weed?
OP is a Mormon Satanist. Transracial Kopimist Monk. Socialist Workers Party Green Comrade. Alcohol-free, drug-free, caffeine-free, woke-free, influencer-free, uncensored (free!).
You say Satanist like it's a bad thing
I just get confused how you practice mormon satanism.
Do they have pentagrams on their temple garments?
Its on the underwear, y'see. It's the crotch gussets and the overseams at the hip
The temple garments are the underwear!
Same priors. We're simpatico.
That's the mistake several posters have made about me. There is no "plan."
I read interesting political news, and I post it to this Lemmy political news community. I've also posted Socialist articles too.
I am Green (tho lean more socialist), but that's not the only political news I read, nor is it the only political news stuff I post.
This sub gets plenty of pro-democrat articles. Having a little diversity is good.
Having said that, I expect many replies saying that I'm really a Trumper, that I'm posting things to spoil the election, etc.
But before people lose their shit and start saying that, Libertarian party voters usually take away Trump votes; NOT democrat votes, if they wanna play the "spoiler!" game.
Upfront: I assure you no shit is about to be lost. I'm all up chill with myself.
My feed default sort is New, so when you're posting you dominate my feed. I've come to expect Green posts. The Libertarian post was off color for you. Just thought I'd ask.
So you got no plan. Cool, cool. Interesting articles. Got it.
Do your thing. I'm around, I see you.
Good, good. Keep doing what you do. People will see you for who you are.
I kinda feel that phrase may be like a sister phrase to, "May you live in interesting times."
First I smiled. Then I squinted a little bit. Then I was like, "Hey, wait a sec..."
Well played!
Have my upvote. I appreciate a good turn of phrase!
Nah, I'm not gonna block you. You post novel stuff. Keep at it!
You amuse me.
