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!

When you're not able to denounce people who promote actual Nazis you're way outside the realm of what's acceptable.

You don't need to add the layer of separation:

When you're not able to denounce ~~people who promote~~ actual Nazis you're way outside the realm of what's acceptable.

If you promote a Nazi, you're a Nazi. I call it the transitive property of Naziism.

What's the saying, if you're at a table of 4 and 3 of them are nazis there's 4 nazis at the table

"Look, if I start denouncing Nazis and Holocaust deniers, I'm going to run out of friends very quickly. At this point, they're the only people who even like me. I mean, maybe some other people like me. Have the alt-right incels gotten over the crossdressing and mascara yet?"

DENIER. HOLOCAUST DENIER. fucking times gets worse and worse holy shit.

All the reason why voting in November is so important. We need to show these nazi muffins that this shit is unacceptable, and throttle them to the point where there is a necessary overhaul of their entire party.

Check your registration NOW @ vote.gov and consider registering independent in hostile red states to avoid getting your name removed from the voter registration list.

Liar is also an acceptable description IMO

"We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights," he wrote in a text sent on 4 January 2021. "I truly can't wait."

"I hate him passionately," he added.

JD Vance’s campaign said he “doesn’t believe in guilt-by-association cancel culture”

It's not like they are just guys who happen to know each other like they are in the same bowling league. And it is not like he invited the guy on to talk about the weather and then he went off on a whole Nazi tangent of his own accord. Tucker knew who he was, liked the things he says, and invited him on his show to specifically spread his words to his audiences. He intentionally platformed a Nazi. That is not "guilt-by-association". That is guilt-by-your-own-actions. Also known as guilt, and full on Nazi shit.

"Vance Reinforces Image as Spineless Yesman"

Fixed the headline.

He doesn't want to Denounce Nazi Supporters because ONLY REAL JEWS will Vote for him!

I gotta say, kudos to the photographer, Trump almost looks like a normal person on this one.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The photographer tastefully cropped out the now defiled mid-century modern sofa from the original picture. /s

– Look at that subtle ivory leather, the exquisite firmness of it. Oh my God, it even has custom stitching. [ sweats profusely ]

I'm so excited to see Vance and Carlson get into a SpaceX rocket with Elon Musk and fire themselves off to Mars together, once this election is over.
