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!

I was checking Reddit for news sometimes but it seems I don't have to anymore as I'm finding the same news in both places. Pretty exciting.
Love seeing Republicans just doing Republican things too. The projection from them never fails to show their colours.
If you think these things are exclusive to republicans, you might be a victim of echo chambers
Don’t disparage new users, they should feel welcome! If we aren’t kind to people like koofnoof, we might soon find ourselves without thinly veiled bigotry and baseless finger pointing. Are you sure you want to defend basic modern moral standards?
Man, jerboa has a nice block function. I was using infinity for reddit, and not only was it something like 4 clicks, it had been broken for months. Jerboa? Click dots, click block. Smooth. Its great that there is a list in your account to to unblock here at lemmy as well if you change your mind for some reason.
Giving shitheels the boot is nice and breezy now.
Correct, everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as it doesn't violate the rules. This isn't a echo chamber and you will see views you might not agree with. That is how it should be.
Not exclusive. Just more common.
In the last 50 years there’s been hundreds of indictments of sitting confessional republicans and republican WH administration officials. There’s been like 20 for dems.
Ya, republicans do illegal dirtbag shit. And they’re not even good at it.
How many Democrats have been indicted and convicted of crimes related to their political office in recent years? Of course there is corruption in both parties but the Republicans aren't even on the same planet in that respect. If you think bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe, you might be a victim of echo chambers.
I would browse r/republican to get perspective on news that came out from a right wing perspective to keep my mind open to both sides.
I didn't just rely on left-leaning news or social media to form my views; I witnessed things such as projection myself over and over in the right-wong community, and from right-wing leaders.
