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!

Removed from the delicate snowflake Conservative community lol
Oh, are the /r/Conservative mods here too?
Any conservative board or sub, will immediately be overtaken by fascist snowflakes. I mean who the hell would want to freely mod a conservative sub in their free time? The job description alone requires someone deeply disturbed
I have to disagree! I freely mod a conservative sub in my spare time.
It has definitely not been taken over by fascist snowflakes.
As proof, you are welcome to come and see for yourself: ☆ kbin conservative community ☆
You got me good

I was just thinking it would be fun to mod a conservative sub but take a conservative instead of a regressive viewpoint. Like: "people who do crimes should be held accountable regardless of their cult size," "investing in infrastructure or climate mitigation is huge ROI so we should do a lot of both," "we need regulations to manifest the invisible hand so the market can price things efficiently."
"Any investment by the government in a private company should be done through the purchase of newly issued shares so that the government has voting rights and can push them to take decisions in favour of the long term interests of the country first and foremost."
Right? It's fun as hell. And if they're insolvent that's just a fire sale on the stock. Why are we harming the free market's ability to price things by handing out money?
That would be an interesting idea.. IPO and issuing new shares incurs a 'tax' where say 10% of those shares belong to the government, with the end result that all publicly traded companies are 10% government owned
When they only have two brain cells to share, they have to pass them around communities.
Cuckflakes.
Are people posting lemmy links on reddit? Why?
Can I get banned from there too?
