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!

Lol. You'd rather look like an idiot than lay any blame at the feet of boomers huh?

As someone who has phone banked and canvassed in multiple primaries: It's boomers.

Gen Y is now the biggest voting bloc as far as generation breakdown.

If you think all the problems lie with....checks notes....the sixties generation, I have a bridge to sell you.

[–] almost_genocide@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Gen Y doesn't participate in primaries at the same rate as Boomers. You'd know this if you ever phone banked.

Regardless of age, anyone that's voted for either shade of fascism is responsible. Liberals created this mess, conservatives created this mess.

If you've canvased for the oligarchy you are part of the problem

Who did you vote for in 2024, 2020, and 2016?

[–] SaltyAmerican@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I can guarantee you voted for a lighter shade of fascism

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I'm Canadian, and I voted either Libertarian or Green.

Again, who did you vote for?

Please answer or I will presume that you either didn't vote, or you voted for Clinton, Biden, and Harris.
