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!

Yeah, this is just down there with the right making fun of Kamala's laugh.

Eh, don’t care. Literally everything and anything weird or gross about trump is fair game. Dude is a psychopathic fascist pedophile. There are court cases about it that were only ~~dismissed~~ (correction) dropped because he threatened to murder the families of the girls involved. Don’t be an apologist for that.

Eh, don’t care.

"I don't have values, I only have a team."

Pitiful ideologues.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I have a team. It’s called “not a fascist”.

The other team is the fascists.

I know I’m not being civil when I say this, but you're verging into a category that does not deserve an iota of respect: Do not fucking come in here with that false equivalence. Do not be a fascist apologist.

What a surprise, you consider your team the good guys and the other the bad guys, lmao.

If you had values, you'd recognize shitty/stupid behavior no matter who is doing it. By giving your side a pass for behavior you'd absolutely criticize the other side for, you prove that you have no actual values. It's team loyalty over integrity. Your comment just reinforced that.

By the way, calling out "he's stinky!" as childish, which it objectively is, is not fucking FASCISM APOLOGY, lmaoooooooo. Ideologues are so over the top, hahahaha, holy shit! Listen to yourself, for crying out loud.

No it's definitely not the same. A tan suit is just a matter of taste (pretty good taste if you ask me), and a laugh is part of you, it can't really be changed, not honestly anyway. But nobody is just a "stinky" person, that's a reflection of a lack of hygiene, a skill and habit that every competent adult and older child should have mastered, let alone a candidate for the highest office. How can he care for his constituents if he apparently doesn't care for himself?

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Exactly. It's pathetic how little self-awareness people can have when blinded by political fealty.

Just like the stupid 'nicknames' people think they're so clever making up and repeating, when all it's doing is showing that that's someone who merits zero attention from any mature adult. Durr hurr Obummer, durr hurr DEMONcrats, durr hurr ReTHUGlicans, durr hurr orange, durr hurr SCAMala, etc. etc.

In a way, I don't mind because it's just an easy way to identify people who should not be taken seriously, lol.
