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!

If they want less families to be killed and voted for Trump because of that then yeah they are not making the best choices to stop that. I wouldn't call them morons because obviously they're doing it out of justified emotional distress, though.
Listen, you can dress your replies up in all sorts of rhetorical flairs but you haven't ever provided a valid reason why voting for Trump would be a good idea.
You call them morons because you want them to be happy with a choice between two genocide parties.
You've done nothing but make unfounded assertions to try to fit me into your narrative, and you left as soon as you ran out of things to try. Blocked and reported. Who are you doing this for anyways? You're certainly not convincing me, and any moderately intelligent onlooker would see right through this. Please raise your standards for discussion in the future and avoid doing nothing but randomly attacking the other person.
No shit. No centrist will ever admit that they were wrong. The party alienated Muslim voters and then blamed them for the loss that resulted.
Democrats aren't owed anyone's vote. You have to earn votes. Democrats showed yet again that they would prefer outright fascism to treating voters like people with agency instead of cattle to be prodded into giving their genocide a mandate.
I'm not a centrist. I hope you know I actually agree with your main point, but that you've been too busy making unfounded attacks on me to notice.
Proof that they are unfounded and that I did NOT edit the comment in the way you suggested, by the way.
Wanted you to see since curiously you didn't respond to that thread.
I didn't see your screenshots yet. I'll respond both here and there. I misread. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm so used to people calling grieving families morons and gloating about the new levels of suffering they're getting that I read what I expected to see instead of what was actually there.
That said, since you blocked me, how did you read this to reply?
I saw your comment about the edit first and wanted to stay to correct it, but... I'm genuinely happy that you apologized when you saw you were mistaken. Props to you; that's much rarer than it should be online. I apologize as well for being rather aggressive in this thread. I know you only want what's best for the world too.
Didn't you block me?
Twice actually, but you replied before I could do it both times and I saw them in my inbox and returned. The first time I wanted to come back to post the screenshot; the second was your apology, and that changed my mind.
Nope
Me, last message: "I wouldn’t call them morons"
lemmy shows what time you edit your comments.
Knew you were going to try this. Here, have a screenshot showing I said I wouldn't call them morons before I saw your comment.
Forgot to attach
As you can see also, the edit I made after you posted your comment was to add the second paragraph. You're not getting out of this one
In case you question why I happen to have a screenshot:
I'm a data hoarder
