Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it'll be 99% US stuff, but that's not a rule.
This community works differently to how most politics communities work. It has strict rules designed to facilitate productive discussion. You can be rude, to a point, but you can't participate in bad faith:
- If you claim someone said something they didn't say, that's a temp ban.
- If you make a factual claim but then aren't interested in backing it up, that's a temp ban.
- If you're asked one or two reasonable questions about what you said, and you're still talking but you're pretending the questions didn't happen or rejecting the premise of answering them, that's a temp ban.
The idea is to make the discussion productive. Let's see how it works. Maybe this is a fool's errand but IDK how any set of moderation could be worse than lemmy.world.
Other misc rules:
- No unreliable sources.
- Keep it productive please.
- Self posts for discussion are fine. This includes videos or photos. No meme posts or screenshots please.
- No personal insults.
- No racism / transphobia / related bigotry.

Just words. His actions seem to support controlled opposition
This clip (the whole panel) is worth watching:

Keep in mind that the racist part of the tweet is what Jefferies is reacting to. Not the insane policy shit that went along with the tweet. Democrats, as a party functioning through party leadership, largely support what Trump is doing with ICE, DHS, everything Trump has done to destroy this country. Democrats, through their leadership, support Trumps policies.
The thing Jeffries is reacting to is the presentation, which, duh, yes, abhorrently racist. But notice that Jefferies doesn't push back against the policy positions. Just the presentation.
A seondary effect of this was to distract from the Epstein files. Because holy shit. Its all we should be talking about right now.
Oh, better write an outraged letter, Hakeem. Worked the last time, right?
Maybe he'll post another little league photo. That will scare them. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLlxiT1oo2F/
Conservatives don't care what you think or say, they consider you a literal primate. Let me know when you decide to join the opposition.
How many fundraising emails did he send out after this?
