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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

"If Obama wins, I'm leaving the US!"

"Ok but really this time, if Obama wins again, I'm leaving the US!"

"If Biden wins, I'm leaving the US!"

"If Mamdani wins, I'm leaving New York!"

"If AOC wins, I'm leaving the US!"

Same story we've heard a dozen times before. Yawn, I'm bored.

So he wants to be an immigrant? Doesn't he hate those?

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 30 points 1 month ago

No no, immigrants are brown. He'd be an expat.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If douchebags like Watters would move the fuck out of the United States that would make having AOC as President 1000x as great.

Talk about Watters tempting all normal Americans with a good time...

He must be a real fan of hers to do a free campaign ad like that.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

This might be a great strategy.

The news gave Trump so much free coverage because of how fucking unhinged he was. We should show the world how insane AOC is, because she wants to do shit like stop treating corporations like people, her disgusting focus on clean energy instead of delicious coal, destroying our thriving Health insurance economy by giving everyone universal healthcare, and ruining the ability for landlords to collect hundreds/thousands of properties by expanding protection to single home owners.

She's mad I tell you!

[–] Redditmodstouchgrass@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

She's mad l say! Maaaaad!!!

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 month ago

Nah, Europe would be a Socialist Paradise compared the United States.

He should prove his Capitalist bona fides and move to Argentina. He would fit right in.

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

No one will grant him a visa. Russia will take him gladly. He can go suck Putin's dick instead of Trump's tiny mushroom.

Also doesn't he hate Europe with its socialist, liberal system?

I was on the fence about AOC, but now we have a real tangible win. That was the typing point for me! Go AOC!

[–] OpenPassageways@programming.dev 18 points 1 month ago

Is there a place in Europe that does NOT already have the kinds of policies that AOC supports?

He's going to have to flee to Argentina like the rest of the Nazis.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Tell him he's not welcome here. We have zero tolerance for intolerance and mindless hatred!

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 14 points 1 month ago

Yo keep your trash! We don't want him!

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 14 points 1 month ago

Don't threaten me with a good time

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Win/win. Don't threaten me with a good time.

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

EUROPE STARTS TYPING...

Here's hoping for Elliot Page to play the next Bond.

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Who the fuck cares, its not like you pay taxes anyway

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, deal with your own sewage

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can we at least split the difference, send him half way in between?

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Split him in half, send a half to each place.

Good. Then Europe can deport the immigrant to El Salvador.

[–] UpperBroccoli@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

Tell that fucking hoset nobody in Europe wants him.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nice! Let's make it happen

[–] zwerg@feddit.org 13 points 1 month ago

Fuck that, we don't want him!

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe he should move to Argentina instead. He could find descendants of like-minded people.

If that means Russia, fine. Russia is also in Europe. Or maybe Crimea.

Anywhere but the Union.

That wanna-be-Goebbels can stay right where he is, thank you.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I hope by Europe he means Russia, cause the EU doesn't want him

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Why would he do that when he can make money railing against her on TV with absolutely no change to his personal circumstances?

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yes. It is already established that fascist cowards will cross oceans in last attempt to avoid the Nuremberg trials.
