Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

still an objective good.
if there is ever the need for, the will to call, the ability to pursue... human rights commission hearings in the future against this grotesque parady of a political party, I want as much evidence of premeditation available as possible.
I mean… sure? But this is about as obvious as noting that not being on fire feels better than being on fire.
Elementary proofs like that are important for an ironclad legal case.
PThis kind of stuff still needs to be enumerated. There are tons of people on Lemmy (mostly the usual trolls) who will show up in every thread and do the "both sides" song and dance. Unfortunately, a nontrivial number of people actually buy into this messaging. Counter programming is a necessary evil, which is something conservatives and foreign actors have figured out, but liberals and progressives are still stubborn about.
Don't forget the no sides song and dance, which seems super common right now and is even worse
Well, MAGA is aching to send members of the LGBTQ community to concentration camps so this is a little bit of an understatement.
Did I say death camps? I meant happy camps!
Literally ANYBODY standing on the street could have probably told you that.
I'm the parent of two LGBTQ+ kids. I'm trying very hard not to be scared out of my mind about a second Trump term.
I am going to have a difficult talk with one of my kids. they already understand whats happening, but avoiding uncalled for dangerous situations... thats what we need to work on. "the talk" is smashing social and economic boundaries like a whirlwind.
I always thought this was a given. Like- who in their right mind would think otherwise?
Also… Note the absence of the usual suspects here? Wonder why they never have anything to say on posts like this.
By usual suspects do you mean the “both sides same!” crowd?
Yep. Them and the “anti-anyone the democrats have to offer.” crowd.
A charitable reading says that you should still research and verify the things that are "a given". I mean, YOU know it, I know it, we all know it here... But at least now we have an official report to point to when people try to downplay it?
Ah, who am I kidding? They wouldn't care anyway
No shit.
No shit Sherlock
Duh????????
Considering Trump wants to define trans people out of existence and make our care illegal, outlaw gay marriage, and classify any queer person in public as a sex offender and put them in prison, yeah I'd think queer people are better under biden than they would be under trump.
Man who attacks Americans all the time is worse than someone who doesn't? Crazy.
Now try telling the Tankies this!
"Might as well let donnie win because Genocide Joe and I'm not in the alphabet group so who cares anyway."
- tankies, probably
not a "tankie" here. supporting virtually any Democratic nominee up and down the ballot... and I still want the investigation, impeachment and removal of biden if appropriate. being human demands it and demanding accountability from your government requires it.
Yeah, if W was not investigated for Iraq war crimes, it's even less likely to happen for Biden.
Today, a bear shat in the woods, and more on duh-news.
Next you're going to tell me that water isn't wet.
My mind first went to Hillary Rodham Clinton report.
