Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Harris will win, with or without the small amount of the pro-gaza voters. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

Remember that if she loses and you feel the urge to start blaming people.

As the campaign heats up and campuses re-open for the fall it is crucial that Harris’s campaign figures out how to talk to and about people who are horrified by US policy in Gaza.

This could be her "covid kryptonite" if she doesn't figure it out quickly.

Not to be super obtuse, but the US elections that we're in the midst of are about placating US voters. Not the international community, and not very small and specific groups of said people. Gaza is less "on the ticket" than you might think.

Nobody cares about the "Uncommitted" group. Trying to make noise is one thing, but actually getting large portions of the population on your side is another.

Making noise as an opposition group at a public rally is like the lowest common denomination. Pretty lame.

"We don't need you Bernie Bros!" 2016 all over again

“We don’t need you Bernie Bros!” 2016 all over again

Bernie is the one that told Kamala to pick Tim Waltz.

You're really trying to tarnish your "reputation" as a "neutral" news poster huh

[–] queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 months ago

As if there's any neutral news posters ever? Every press is biased in favor of what gives them more money. R2O doesn't share Fox News, and he's slowed down CNN. Now he posts NBC and CBS and it's still not good enough.

I don't think you don't want criticism, you want 24/7 good news like how Trump supporters say when a Fox News anchor reports on the actual size of the rallies, they call them RINOs and communists for stating the truth.

Does anyone see when he comments on Republicans? Does anyone comment when he shares Republicans being bigots and losing? Nope. They only care when he posts legitimate criticism of Democratic candidates.

What exactly do you need? Controversial comments on your astroturfed shitposts?

C'mon fella, it's 2024. We all have you tagged by now.

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

As if Trump would do better in any way.
