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!

Jill Stein, the Green Party’s serial presidential candidate, has heard the pleading from strangers. And she doesn't care. And neither do I. I didn't vote for her, but I still like her! (Hi Philip!)
If you didn’t care, you would not have made this post (or the hundreds like it), nor would you have commented on it with your edgelord response.
I think you misunderstood. She was talking about not caring that people are asking her to stop, and moving forward anyway. Same as me, not caring about how much you all try to bully me; I won't stop posting articles.
Hmmm, maybe I should change my display name to "Mormon Satanist Edgelord"? Hmmmm, thinking maybe...
Cute evasion, but nobody’s buying it.
And admitting you’re a troll and that the only reason you post or comment here is to troll is also pretty telling.
Hey, are you calling me cute? Come on, admit it... you kinda like me now, don’t you? My stubborn persistence, even in the face of all the unrelenting hate and disdain. Yet, through it all, like a tiny flower sprouting from a crumpled discarded soda can, I can feel it… our friendship is blooming, baaabbbyyyy!
Thank you, friend! :)
Too bad the Summer Olympics are over, or you’d get gold in mental gymnastics.
Training for the Winter Olympics now. Thanks, friend! :)
It has been my observation that those who passive-aggressively referred to people as “friend” typically don’t have any of their own.
I’m not your friend.
I may not be your friend, but I count you as my friend. Thanks, friend! :)
How sad
Don't be sad, I'm your friend. Cheer up. It's gonna be ok, I promise. And Trump is going to lose, so all good. Thank you! :)
Oh, how cute. You’re trying to be passive aggressive to make yourself feel better.
Nobody is your friend.
Thank you! :)
For what? Pointing out your failings? The fact that you have no friends?
Because other than passive-aggressive trolling, I can’t really see why anyone would behave that way.
Many people here think you are a paid troll, but I’m pretty sure that you’re lonely enough to do this for free because you mistake an entire online community’s hate towards you as some sort of affection. That’s why you call everyone Who insults you “friend.”
Wait! Are you saying people here are insulting me? In this community?! Noooo...come on now... I'm pretty sure when I brought that up one time, everyone said I had "main character syndrome."
So I think you're wrong. You must be, right?!
Thanks, friend! :)
Of course you would label yourself “main character”.
Just remember: every time you post your comments on lemmy, everyone knows exactly how desperate and pathetic the attempt for affection is.
I can’t think of a worse fate than being you. I do, however, enjoy watching you constantly display how miserable you are.
Thanks for looking out for me, friend! :)
Whatever you have to tell yourself so you can sleep at night….
Thank you, friend! :)
The more passive aggressive statements you make like this, it just confirms how miserable and desperate you are. Not just for me, but for everyone here.
Thank you. The care and sympathy you're showing me is really turning me around and making me a better person. I feel your love for me. Thanks, friend! :)
What?! The entire community has disdain for me?! Nah. That can't be true.
I mentioned something like that one time, and people just said that I had a victim complex and main character syndrome. So no way everyone here disdains me. They talked me out of thinking that.
Thank you for your kind thoughts, friend! :)
I hope you think of me when you’re crying yourself to sleep tonight.
Why would I cry over anything Lemmy says? You may take it that seriously, but I don't! lol
If you didn’t take it seriously, you wouldn’t post hundreds of posts and thousands of comments like you do.
You can’t fool me. Try not to drown in the tears, lol.
Actually if I took it seriously, then how would I post hundreds of posts and thousands of comments like I do?! lol Think about that for a sec.
Thanks! :)
It’s pathetic how much you know you should be better but don’t.
Thank you! :)
