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!

American-doom.com

While Trump's election denial is a major issue, surely you understand why I'm taking this one specific article/headline with a cup of salt

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Yes. Although it should be in multi- oh, it’s an ‘exclusive’. Well. There’s a chance their findings are backed up with names, dates, and source materials.

I mean - we know it’s going to happen, may as well get out in front of it.

The MB/FC bot hasn't even heard of that site.....

The one fucking thread that stupid media bias checker bot actually needs to be on and it’s nowhere to be found…

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Are you saying you question the credibility of american-doom.com? /s

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

Maybe I should have posted the Rolling Stone article, but decided to go to the source.

Fucking hate that bot, reality has a leftist bias you beep boop bitch ass

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

This is odd. This article on this... interesting site, appears to be written by the author of a Rolling Stone piece that was posted here two days ago. It's worth reading the Rolling Stone article. Frankly, it is very concerning that so many election deniers are in positions of power over the coming election.

Thanks.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The source is pretty terrible, but I did think it was weird that both of the people on the ballot for an election position were Republican and also husband and wife.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Here’s an interesting comment thread saying the same thing with better resources. Trump said the same “we don’t need votes” thing again in PA recently. Wtf
