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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Yes you did. Everyone here knows you did. Pretending you didn't only makes your endless trolling look more feckless and weak.
No I didn't. Besides, if I were a troll, that means I'd like the negative attention. And if I liked negative attention, wouldn't I get more negative attention for voting for Trump?
So wouldn't I admit it if I did? I voted third party. Thank you! :)
You already get a shit ton of negativity enough for a troll like you to be satisfied. Such a sorry sack of shit you are. Again, no one wants you here.
Thanks. But I think we can turn this around by being positive. Wanna try? Thanks, friend! :)
You're the cause of the negativity you twat.
No, I'm not. I try to stay keep this a positive place. Thank you! :)
Yes, you are. Look at your entire post and comment history. All you do is sow negativity it's what you do.
How am I negative? Any examples. I try to stay upbeat in my posts and comments in this community. Thank you, friend! :)

Or maybe your community dedicated to creating fan fiction about the users you don't like? https://lemmy.world/c/talesfromthecrypticlemmy

Thanks for the shoutout. I've just posted some more stories too. The subscriber count is growing. Thank you!! :)
linkerbaan got banned and he was far less egregious than you :*
UniversalMonk just got banned as well. It’s going to be a good day.
aaaayyyye. But only until election day it looks like. Then we can look forward to the posts concerning the enemies within, or all about how the election was rigged.
Beautiful. If only it could've happened weeks ago.. but better late than never. Looks like it's only from politics and for 15 days but it's a start!

Wait, do I have 81,000 downvotes now? I thought it was 45,000?! Can you double check. I wanna put the correct number of downvotes in my profile. The link you provided isn't working for me. Thanks for the updated stats, friend! :)
Awesome, right!? Thank you!
