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!

It's almost like they're trying to lose this election. What next? Virginity inspections?

I don't think you understand how many oppressive shitty people are in this country. The Taliban are alive and well here in America.

Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf of the Southern policies of Jim Crow as an inspiration for Germany's genetic policies.

We needed to finish reconstruction, instead we let the filth slime back into power.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I do, I just don't think they're the majority.

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Thanks to the electoral college, they don't need to be a majority to get a Trump presidency.

[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Genuinely surprised they haven't called for jus primae noctis yet.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds foreign, they won't like that.

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

They don’t speak French

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Please, they'd all offer their wives and daughters willingly.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago

Nah, this is due to their base's support being absolutely unwavering. This is a level of propagandistic control never before seen in the United States. Joseph Goebbels would fucking blush.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Please, they'll run up the score in the south, get 80-90% easily.

Yes, even the women somehow.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Please don't give them ideas.

Nah, it’s more like when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.

Conservatives only have one play, it’s to just keep going more right (as in, privatize things more and more to keep “fixing” things).

They have already gone after abortion.

What’s that? Fertility rate is low? We just got to try harder!
