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!

"Project 2025 should scare every single American," Biden said. "It would give Trump limitless power over our daily lives and let him use the presidency to enact 'revenge' on his enemies, ban abortion nationwide and punish women who have an abortion, and gut the checks and balances that make America the greatest democracy in the world."

Remember less than 24 hours ago Biden said he wouldn't really care if trump won as long as Biden felt he "tried his best"?

Logical consistency is a big deal for Dem voters but Biden and the DNC keeps wanting to treat us like Republican voters who have the memory of goldfish and zero standards.

It’s pretty goddamn baffling and more than a little bit infuriating, to be honest

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Perhaps I'm mis-remembering account names, but it seems like every comment from you is trying to undermine progressive votes.

[–] StinkyOnions@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Yes givesomefucks is a propaganda account. You can downvote and move on.

[–] Icalasari@fedia.io 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I feel being willing to admit there is a severe problem is a bit more important than remaining consistent. Now if he goes back to saying, "So long as I did my best, then no regrets"...

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

Go back to saying that?

When has he tried to take it back?

It's still out there because he meant it.

They're both true statement.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Biden probably doesn't remember saying that, to be fair.

Sure thing, donny dipshit!

I’m interested in the sourcing of this image.

What are the page numbers referring to? If they’re referring to a document for Agenda 47, I have not found any such document. If they’re referring to the official Project 2025 policy mandate that I found here, then I don’t think the page numbers match up for at least some of the points raised.

Also, is there an original image without the page numbers, and if so where did that come from?

Tbh I suspect that this image contains misinformation, which would be a real bummer. I know at least that the pdf I linked already says some crazy stuff, not the least of which is suggesting an abortion ban, but it’s 922 pages so there’s a LOT of pointless fluff.

Edit, 922 pages, not 923.

Edit: I received a couple downvotes but no direct responses. Is that just bc I’m coming off as someone who’s defending Project 2025, or bc I’m lame for asking about sources and/or sweating the details, or some other thing?

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

I'd like to see him actually physically slam his desk without wincing in pain or fainting.

I'd also like to slam every writer and author who continue to use the word "slam" over the head with a rolled up newspaper containing their article

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

After that watching that debate I doubt Biden is capable of slamming anything. But yeah fuck Trump.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (4 children)

How much money do we need to collect to watch politicians actually slam each other?

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I’m not sure what that would look like, and I’m even less sure I want to find out

I'm pretty sure they ousted Madison Cawthorn for describing exactly this...

[–] Batman@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, if we're gonna go full Idiocracy, let's let the politicians start the first season of "Ow my balls!".

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

You mean like when Trump got slammed in the WWE?
