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!

another winning post from the downvote king.
If speaking truth to power and challenging the status quo makes me the “downvote king,” then I gladly accept the crown.
Brothers and sisters who fear the kind of bullying I face, wear your downvotes like a badge of honor, just as I do. Every downvote is a sign that the capitalist defenders are feeling the pressure of our righteous cause—and that, my friends, is how you know we’re on the right path.

So I'll keep posting. Thanks!
More like the bad faith actor king. Good job helping Republicans. You can feign ignorance but the proof is in the pudding.
Yeah? If I was helping the Republicans, I'd vote for them. How do you think I'm helping Republicans? On fucking Lemmy which practically worships democrat party or is working extra hard to keep the current broken duopoly in place?
Or wait, is it the almost 200 anti-Republican/pro-socialist posts and comments I've made to my c/socialist community? Because Republicans are sooooooooo socialist.
Wait, is it the 16 non-republican Lemmy communities that I've started and mod that are also non-republican? Most of which aren't even political. Because Republicans are sooooooo pro-trans and pro-education.
Wait, is it the over 641 non-republican posts I've made? Or is it the 1,000+ anti-republican comments I've made arguing with pro-duopoly people such as yourself?
Wait, is it the fact that I actually am a registered socialist and donate money to the socialist parties? Cuz again, Republicans or soooooo socialist.
I'm starting to doubt your good intentions here. You seem pretty anti-democratic in your comments.
Twenty three days, one thousand seven hundred and twenty three comments or posts.
That’s one comment or post almost every nineteen minutes.
Ah, the old accusation of bad faith—a tired tactic used by those who can't stand to see the working class rise up against the status quo.
You call me the "bad faith actor king," but I say it's those who cling to a broken system who are acting in bad faith.
I’m not here to play by the rules set by the very forces that oppress us; I’m here to shatter those chains and expose the truth.
If standing up for workers' rights and challenging the duopoly makes me a threat to your cozy alliance with the establishment, then I wear your insults like armor.
The proof isn’t in the pudding, my friend—it’s in the political revolution that’s building momentum. It might not happen this election or the next, but rest assured, people are growing weary of the duopoly. We won’t be bullied into submission, and we won’t stop fighting for true change.
And we're not voting for your candidate. Or for the republicans.
