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!

Cross-posted from "Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses Kamala Harris: ‘I will always be an American before I am a Republican’" by @Powderhorn@beehaw.org in !politics@beehaw.org


“I will always be an American before I am a Republican,” he wrote. “That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognise our country. And you are right to be furious.”

See that’s an immigrant who actually embraced the culture he moved to glares at elon

I would pay a lot of money to see Arnold beat up Elon in a cage match. Despite the age gap, it wont even be close.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Heh, I would've paid to watch Zuck beat his ass, but he chickened out of that one.

I truly wish we had more politicians that behave in this manner. It should never boil down to my political party versus yours. There shouldn't be any sides to governing this country.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 47 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Don't you miss the days where presidentak candidates stood up for each other .... When GOP McCain defended Obama against outlandish rumors he was a secret Muslim. Seems like those days are long gone.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago (3 children)

That's because none of the candidates were Russian assets.

In this election it's almost as if all of them are Russian assets except one.

I think people should behave in this manner and we would live in a better world.

Noice. Call Arnold whatever you want, he's no MAGA ass-kisser.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 56 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He's an interesting character. I don't agree with a lot of his ideas but they feel like they come from a genuinely altruistic place. The antithesis of maga.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Seriously, he’s another Republican I’d trust to actually want to do the right thing even if I disagree on how.

Interesting parallel to us in Massachusetts with Romney. A blue state electing a Republican governor and generally being happy with it. Also you wouldn’t expect much from an actor or vulture capitalist, but they deliver

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

When he says something its honest as opposed to the majority of republicans just project their intentions on their enemies. The important thing here is their idea anyone who doesn't agree with them is a enemy.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 67 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In one corner, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In the other corner, Hulk Hogan.

What year is it?

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

I figure the Schwarz could take hogan and gibson at the same time.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

With a one-liner for each.

He did some dumb god damn shit in California back in the day, and he's doing the obviously right thing now that things are so different. We gather every partial win and stand together against the limpdicks.

Vote.

[–] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 58 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is the type of republican endorsement Harris should be touting. His politics may be shit but at least he's got broad popularity across the aisle , unlike Cheney and the five delusional people who still think his opinion is worth considering.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I actually think the opposite shows more.

"The orange idiot calls me a communist, but even these pieces of shit are voting for me over him."

I think too many people are confusing am endorsement by a piece of shit and supporting that piece of shit, like Cheney's endorsement somehow will mean Harris agrees with him.

All it means is a massive turd is saying "Don't vote for the diaper full of massive fascsist turds".

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (13 children)

Let it sink in:

Angela Davis - an avowed Marxist-Leninist- and Dick-fucking-Cheney both agree Kamala is the way to go.

How the hell is this election even close?

(And we can add Liz Cheney to that. She and her dad are both neo-con warmongers.)

Edit: any one have a good punchline to “Dick Cheney and Angela Davis walk into a bar….”?

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 11 months ago

It boggles the mind. I can't understand ~30% of the population apparently.

“Increased crime”? C’mon, isn’t crime down? Don’t fall for that old white man bogeyman, Arnold.

[–] genuineparts@infosec.pub 36 points 11 months ago

He still is republican.

Finally some decent from Arnold.

Dude has been silent afaik.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago (6 children)

I knew what he’d say though. He’s made it clear through his actions what he wants.
