politics
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!

I love this. It's like the apes strong together meme
Unfortunately this symbolism has existed for a long time in the form of the fasces (fascis is latin for fa**ot). A symbol of authority that was heavily used by the fascists (hence the name).
Though of course it would be great if it could be repurposed to for a more positive use :)
Someone should start a shitpost bot farm to spam her with that clip for the lulz.
Stay classy, republicans.
They're sending their best!
Nobody hates you, Valentina. Hate is reserved for effective people.
We just think it's weird that you're obsessed with other people's genitals.
obsessed with other people’s genitals
I recently coined the insult pud CHUD for this. From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pudendum and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.
And Gomez very much is a pud chud.
In my case shes not wrong
No love like Christian love amirite
“Yes, I lost this election, but I’m young, beautiful, and rich as f**k,” she concluded. She lost her job at Purina dog food over her extreme rhetoric and her campaign was unable to purchase ads.
She came 6th. Its funny, but I think she was never a real candidate and hasn't learned anything
Anytime when someone needs to publicly tell everyone that they're rich, you know that they're not rich and huge assholes
I'm in MO
I like penis.
I didn't vote for her.
The math checks out.
She should seek help.
I don't think they can produce lithium carbonate fast enough to help this woman.
"Most prolific woman in politics"
-some unknown weirdo
I’m not attracted to men, but I’d suck a dick to stop hearing about this awful woman.
As a gay guy, I'd go down on a lady to save democracy. I sure hope it doesn't come to that, though
Valentina Gomez is a trash human being. Valentina Gomez is a homophobic piece of shit. Valentina Gomez lost her campaign of hate. Valentina Gomez can eat shit.
It's not just the >!faggots!< voting against her, it's the >!dykes and the trannies!< too, and I assume several boring straights.
Hey, I'm interesting
Ok what is going on with the “removed” thing?? Is there some kind of instance-wide filter on words? I’ve seen this before.
Is it a blahaj thing? I’m so out of the loop on this lol
edit: actually sounds like in might be a Lemmy.world thing.
Some servers replace expletives with “removed” or similar. I think it’s silly. YMMV.
I’m on Blahaj and can see the slurs fine, is it maybe something from your instance or client?
Bye Felicia
Does she think the government is Xbox Live?
It took me way to long to figure out what the censored word was.
Oddly, me too. I'm not sure why my brain went to fat ass first when it's clearly not that.
I thought, "What's wrong with 'fascist' in a politics forum?"
Oh it's this twit. Let her squawk, nobody cares.
Proudly 🏳️🌈🖕🏻
"Unpatriotic lesbian" sounds rad as hell, some people she is trying to denigrate will instead embrace that one.
Either way shes the minority now, so what is she hoping to accomplish?
Classy
Glad she lost.
fa***t: is that fascist or faggot?
I'm a little unclear, here
Hmm… for a moment I thought she’d forgotten how to spell fascist AND forgotten what it meant….
Grindr in Missouri must be crazy.
Thoughts, prayers, and another strand of pearls to clutch.
