Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Are you accusing me of being a paid shill?
Yes, please elaborate, speak specifically, o wise monk
How could I accuse you of that? You just said you're a fifty-five year old semi-retired education assistant and that Lemmy is your hobby, you mostly post on weekend and a couple minutes after work but besides that you spend time with your friends, family and girlfriend while working to complete your education.
So what would make me think anything else about you.
Hey, you weren't lying were you?
Nobody lies on the internet, you should know this better than anyone!
You always try to argue in good faith, right? Hey I posted some more articles, so please update the stats you keep about me. Thank you!
I don’t keep stats about you, this platform does.
I understand it’s an easy mistake to make though.
Yeah, but you post the stats, then do your little calculations. Hey, remember when you thought I posted every 18 minutes, 24 hours a day?! And terms like "team" and "local currency"?
By the way, what is your local currency? Because that's some odd phrasing to use instead of 'dollar.'
I posted some more stuff. Can you update your stats, please? Thank you!
You averaged a post every eighteen minutes and thirteen seconds twenty four hours a day seven days a week, but that might have changed a bit today.
I don’t think I’ve ever referred to you as a team.
Maybe you have me confused for someone else?
You referred to me as "you guys." So you don't think I'm a team, just more than one guy then? And what did you mean by using the term "local currency"? Where do you think I am located?
Why didn't you just say "dollars." Now I am starting to wonder where you are located that you aren't using the same currency as I am. Hmmmmm
Inside us all is two wolves.
I like to acknowledge both of them but I definitely didn't call you a team.
You should try being more accurate with your accusations.
So you don't think I'm a team of people then?
Are you asking if you're a team of people or if you're the only one running this account?
Both.
It's kind of odd that you're asking me this question because you're the one who should know.
Well you sure seem to know.
I'm actually a little concerned that you don't know.
I just think it's hilarious when you pretend you know. :)
As I've said, I've never called you a team and I think you might be mistaking me for someone else.
So you don't think I'm a team then?
I've never said I thought you were.
