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!

"Voting for Harris is voting for genocide."
Can someone please add "they are not wrong" to the image please?
they use gaming chairs because they are gaming the system
"I'm sick of accepting the status quo anymore. I'm voting third party this year and it feels AWESOME!"
The fact this is a anti-voting talking point is incredibly sad...
Isn’t it sad that I, and probably plenty others, could list off name after name after name that has used these exact lines on Lemmy? And yet they think we don’t see exactly what they’re up to.
Oh absolutely!
"I'm not a Trump supporter but it's obvious Kamala is an idiot"
That’ll show em
I support giving Ukraine longer range missles and a few extras and just maybe dropping a map with the Russian cyber warfare centers circled. That solves our problem and their problem.
I know it’s not feasible, but diverting all of our military aid from Israel to Ukraine would be amazing.
Fuck yeah. I’m in support of that. I’d like to stop both hostile land grabs, Ukraine, and the West Bank. Cutting off US support beyond weapons for Israel too until they back off the West Bank and negotiate legitimately for the release of hostages.
I think they probably have enough problems and don't need any of ours.
Two birds, one stone. They need missiles, and we need less Russian Cyber Threats. I see this as an absolute win. Plus a few extra missiles in a barrage attack would overload their defenses and make it more likely various attacks are successful.
Biden won’t make Obama’s mistake and ask McConnell’s permission. Or, maybe he did and the turtle said "Go ahead"
Moscow Mitch? The turtle loves his rubles.
That Russia could pull this off in the first place is more a reflection of us than them. Let's fix those problems.
An uneducated public helps the people in power
wtf is this limpdick “sanctions” stuff?
How about just deny Ukrainian airspace to any Russian airborne asset? And disable or destroy any platform firing into Ukrainian airspace?
Honestly I feel like Biden just can’t wrap his head around the nature of what Putin is.
What’s the point really? Nothing will be done about it. The all-too-familiar sound of saber rattling is beginning to fall on deaf ears.
Oh, good, Biden is finally accusing him and thinking about maybe actually doing something!
That’ll teach em!!! /s
The US should do everything within its power to curtail enemy states' efforts at election interference...except complaining. The US has no right to complain.
