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!

Had to look up who jesse waters was. Who cares if some fox news commenter leaves. He's threatening the whole country with a good time.

"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 week ago

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

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week 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 can fuck off to Mars together with Musk. Europe is CLOSED for sociopaths like him

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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!

She's mad l say! Maaaaad!!!

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 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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?

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.

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 18 points 1 week ago

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

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

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

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

Don't threaten me with a good time

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

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

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 week ago

An abuser psychopath leech has threatened to leave if we go against his manipulation

Press 'F' to Doubt

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

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

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

Europe entered the chat...

EUROPE STARTS TYPING...

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

No, deal with your own sewage

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

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

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

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

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

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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

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

Tell that fucking hoset nobody in Europe wants him.

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

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

Nice! Let's make it happen

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

Fuck that, we don't want him!

[–] treehugger6@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

HELL NO. He's NOT welcome in Europe

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

What I don't get is why did this asshat pick out Paris? In France? I thought that was some socialist/communist hellhole filled with fancy schmancy intellectual surrender-monkeys.

Seems kinda gay for a guy that always seems to be mid-way through a full-blown gay panic.

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 week ago

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

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

So it’s a win-win!

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

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