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!

Broken link.

Hmmm, it's like they're all rich and know that in the end it'll be fine for them under a fascist regime?

I'm not an American, but I have to give the Trump supporters they are right about one thing: the Democrats do not seem interested in fixing their problems. Trump's just honest about it 🤷

It's utterly baffling.

This is how Democracy works. We had an election and America chose Trump. Hard to believe but it happened. America comes together to let that person lead until the next election, this is how America is supposed to work. It is sad that so many people don't understand how the system should work.

After 4 years straight of former-President Trump actively campaigning on a platform built exclusively on vilifying the sitting President, it's time for unity ya'll.

The Republican party may have transitioned its entire platform into "fuck the democrats" and actively supported an insurrection but now that they're in power again we gotta stand together behind the convicted fascist, because apparently that's how democracy works.

Democracy is dead in this country. Don't believe me? Strange. How odd that elections are rigged when Republicans lose, but democracy is alive and well when they win.

I never thought the election was rigged. Political rivals talking shit about eachother isn't anything new. I'm not sure exactly what you are crying about but the election is over.

[–] Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Oh, okay. Political rivals talking shit. That's what happened on January 6th.

Just the President that you want everyone to support, talking so much shit that people died. You didn't think it was rigged, but you want everyone to support the man who spent 4 years calling it rigged, constantly saying that democracy is dead and only he could "fix" it. The same man who personally sent his supporters to "fight like hell" and assault police and threaten congress to "fix" it.

It's so funny how people like you are so willing to support things you disagree with.

[–] AidsKitty@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think everyone should support whomever wins the election as that is the will of the people. That is how democracy works. Whoever wins in 2028 I will do my part to support, that is my responsibility as a citizen that supports democracy.

[–] Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

Right, and when the President commits crimes, attempts to overthrow his own elections, and says "you won't need to vote anymore" that's still democracy working as designed. Totally responsible to support that. For democracy.

Alright at this point we should just clean house everyone in executive, Congress and Judiciary needs to go

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Or, hear me out, make sure people like Trump always lose in the future so they can't initiate any appointments ever again.

Imagine being a liberal right now lmfao You’re pissed at EVERYTHING and yelling at your allies while the people you’re telling them to vote for are supporting the very thing making you furious.

Fuckin’ awesome.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

If we all showed up to vote blue then thwre would be no Trump appointments to be mad at.

This is what primaries are for. If you vote up or don't vote, it's a vote for fascism.

You pretending they do not exist does not change reality. Presidential is not the only race, nor is it even the most important overall

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Pretending that the primaries (when they happen at all) are fair doesn't mean they are.

The party went to court and successfully argued that they don't have to run honest primaries. Anyone who suggests primaries as a means to end the entrenched conservative hegemony in democratic party leadership knows better and is gloating.
