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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Did... You just endorse shooting a child to achieve your goal? Are the mods awake???

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 2 years ago

No gods no masters no mods because they're very sleepy rn

[–] Iceman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We kill children every day to achieve political goals. The problem is when you endorse it. What we have learned is that you first condemn it, then you do it any way, you achieve some goal and refuse to comment or spin it so it's actual the other parties fault. This way there is no issue.

[–] TheFonz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not to get all Jordan Peterson on you but who is "we"? What "political goals"? I have no idea what you're saying

[–] jmsy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They appear not to be, but I am trying to inform them.

Every "voot bloo no matter hoo" person says the same thing...

[–] TheFonz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know who you're talking about here because we've been plenty critical of Biden's genocide support. Did you wake up yesterday?

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So critical that anyone whom decided not to vote for a genocider is blamed for Trump today, rather than blaming the Dems for supporting genocide?

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You were foolish to believe Trump would be any better after meeting privately with Netanyahu before the election and generally being a total racist piece of shit. But, here we are…

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 0 points 2 years ago

I never considered Trump to be anything other than a fascist piece of shit.

And, regardless of who won, Palestinians are still being genocided...
