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!

Came here to say this. Pretty rich headline coming from the bootlickers at NYT.

Jamelle Bouie is far from typical at the NYT

Yeah, much more like there was a sickness, now it is properly dead and has been so for some time.

Let’s start with the press. Unwilling to call a spade a spade. Giving popularity to shitty candidates because shitty people generate more clicks. Manufacturing negative hypotheticals against otherwise normal people. JAQing off. Self preservation and revenue generation in place of the truth.

And the NYT is complicit for not reporting their knowledge before the attack on Venezuela.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Maybe you shouldn’t have sanewashed this fascist asshole for a decade?

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

It all started with Brown vs. Board of Education.

Hate.

Hate never changes.

“Perhaps in 5 to 10 years this will become a serious issue worth dealing with”

It might be all the racism. But what do I know.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 4 points 2 months ago

This is what journalism is now.
