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!

Well that's a fuckin reach. I get tired of Lemmy throating the same dozen ml posters over and over so I leave again. I'm sorry that i understand that this supposed revolution all you accelerationists think is the only path forward isn't actually feasible, and that the only actual possible change is through the system. Because if the system collapses then you and untold millions more will die shortly after. Idiots thinking overthrowing capitalism won't completely destroy the social world order and kill most of you with it.
You appear to have forgotten that you were interacting with an actual person who made some specific statements, because at this point you're just shouting at a crude stereotype that exists in your own mind to which you've assigned positions I didn't even mention, much less claim to hold.
You might as well have just posted, "Get thee hence Satan!" It's about equally accurate, conveys the same basic message and is far fewer words.
Well you've got the projection down so we're back to you just being a republican what with that being their bread and butter.
Derp.
Mamdani overthrew the economy in New York City everyone. Untold millions... dying in the streets.
Leftist politicians, even if they win, will be the destruction of all human kind. We have to accept capitalism and its destructive wake. It's the best way forward for humanity. Pay no attention what-so-ever to the capitalists killing school girls in Iran to manipulate the market—they're failing so it's okay as long as little girls die for capitalism.
Who the fuck do you think elected mamdani? It wasn't republicans.
