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!

Nah, you're arguing in bad faith.

Don’t feed the sea lions

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Satisfy my curiosity.

Exactly which words demonstrated by 'bad faith?'

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's your attitude and it's as obvious as a zit on your nose. Nobody here owes you anything, and you've been treated with kid gloves by some very kind, intelligent people. I am neither of those things. Sit down, shut up, listen, and maybe learn something.

So, what exactly is your plan for the 2026 election?

How exactly are you going to counter Trump?

Be specific and provide as many details as possible.

That's my original comment, the one that has you in such a tizzy.

I use a loaded word like 'tizzy' because what you wrote makes no objective sense.

I asked to hear a plan and was told that I was acting in 'bad faith.'

And now you tell me to 'listen'

Is there any point where I'll hear the plan?

Because I really want to hear this plan.

I'm not going to waste my breath re explaining what smart people already have. Read their comments, touch grass, and maybe go volunteer.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

If there'd been an actual plan posted you'd have cut and pasted it to show me up.

And when you say 'waste my breath' it sounds like you need AI tech to transcribe your words because you can't figure out typing.

But I do agree with your original comment, where you say you aren't intelligent.

... some very kind, intelligent people. I am neither of those things.

That's quite a self own.

And you would have said it isn’t a plan it’s a wish list to Santa. So it would have been a waste. Get outta here.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

So, freedom for the people who agree with you?

Where have I heard that song before?

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

That isn’t what I said tho. I just said what you said.
