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!

"You'll respect my choices and wishes like i accept yours, right? RIGHT?!??!?!?!" - Enlightened Stein voter.
Of course I will, just don't expect me to be able to help you when they come for you, because you helped vote the leopards into power.
Oh, trust me, I know. I was just poking fun and quoting a particular user on here who goes around using this same logic while attacking other's views and then victimizing him/herself whenever he/she remotely gets any resistance.
I understand it was sarcasm. You wrote enlightened Stein voter, that can ONLY be a joke. So don't worry.
I've seen similar comments, that are absolutely insane from people supporting Gaza.
My response however, was meant for those who actually believe there's a better third option.
My response to this is "I respect your right to vote. Why don't you?"
I swear there's a weirdo Jill Stein supporter who always shows up on Lemmy threads and says nearly that exact comment. Like hell no I don't respect your wack choice.
Yep....
I'm wondering if the only answer to these people is: "Don't listen to this fool. If you do what they say they're gonna do, you'll end up getting Trump and Project 2025, as will your sister, wife, or mother if you're male, and you ALL will suffer!"
It's funny because we all know exactly who that is, too. Of course trying to use "respect" in both the sense of "respecting their right" and also "not (correctly) calling them a dumbass every time."
