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!

"Vote for Nazis, sleep alone" is a fair policy, I think

[–] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago

I don’t think it should be controversial to say that you vote for Nazis and you are a Nazi.

So then our policy can simply be, “Nazis sleep alone.”

Lacking empathy should be a tough sell for any partner.

People don't want to date those who don't value or respect them, their lives, their family, or their country? Im shocked! Shocked, I say!

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago

Yes, those poor, poor Trump supporters. People can see who they are up front and choose not to engage, and we should...pity them? Nawthx.

[–] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 43 points 1 week ago

No surprise. If you're a Trump supporter at this point, you're a giant bag of shit.

Dating Is Rough ~~for Gen Z, Especially~~ for Men Who Support Trump

Misleading title, fixed it. Gen Z is fine. It's just the fascists who are having trouble finding people willing to put up with their vileness.

[–] Furball@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That’s not really true, gen Z is having trouble with dating especially with the ridiculous control of corporate dating apps

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think that's exclusive to Gen Z, I think pretty much every generation is experiencing that. I think that it's safe to say that Gen Z and Alpha have been negatively impacted by the COVID lockdowns due to when in their lives they occurred, but the corporate enshitification of all aspects of basic living and human interaction affects everybody.

It's harder to meet people in bars these days.

Fewer people are going out as things get more expensive and Gen Z, on the whole, likes drinking less than their elders.

If elected president, I'll cap beer at $5 a pint

I don’t even want to befriend Trump supporters.

The only Trump supporters in my life are the people who are in my family.

I would not even shop at a business that supported Trump.

Woman: “So you have no critical thinking skills whatsoever, what’s that like…?”

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

Good. People so stupid should not have a chance to reproduce.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 12 points 1 week ago

Might as well rename red flags to red hat.

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

In some ways, this is a great way to front-load what might take someone a long time to discover. The fact that the dumpster-lovers almost can never help themselves in broadcasting their cultlike adoration for donnie might save people a lot of time and energy when dating. The other person can nope out immediately when the red hat comes out...

And I bet quite a few MEN reject WOMEN that are wearing that stupid red hat, too...
