I realize that this is a very hot political season. Its impossible to keep a "good vibes" feel with this year's election politics, so I'm not asking for "Don't be an Ass" or other such naive statement. But please try to be on your best behavior. This is "BestOfLemmy", and not a political debate site.

I've nuked a couple of subthreads that have gotten too hot. Please report anything you think is unhelpful to the greater discussion. I'll remove distracting posts as I see them, but I don't promise "good moderation" here. I'm just gonna cleanup what I can see and when I see it.


The general rule for "BestOfLemmy" is to be an appropriate place for a Lemmy beginner to get a feel of Lemmy in general. Yall are somewhat forgiven for the heated topic, but its not a complete pass. Try to keep the perspective of "newbies to Lemmy are stopping by here first". And think about how you'd like to present yourself to them.

This is my guiding principle for moderation. This isn't a debate subsite, or debate community. I'm not necessarily interested in having everyone here complete their back-and-forth discussion (especially if it gets heated, swear words, accusatory tones, etc. etc.).

What if I hate America and voted for Kamala?

Thank you for having more mercy than hatred.

[-] [email protected] 57 points 11 months ago

I just hate Donald Trump more.

Idk who nuxcom is but is this really a contender for best of Lemmy? You see the same comment in every other post so is this person that special or do we have a slow day?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

My vote is very much on slow day and, given a choice, would nuke this thread entirely, if that helps.

If folk MUST steal other's work, at least pick something that is semi-uniquely them and not literally a post made while taking a shit.

America is like 100x more powerful than Russia, so it's really fucking weird that an ex-president is beholden to Putin.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

It's money and blackmail for sure.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Sure it's weird.

His vp pick fucks couches. I'd say it's on brand.

The whole thing is fucking weird.

But what's weird and what governs the future lives to be lost are separate issues entirely.

If it's weird and beholden to Putin, idk what else there is to say.

"If you don't vote Harris, you hate America"

Great way to convince the folks at hexbear and .ml to vote Trump

[-] [email protected] 71 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They weren't going to vote for Harris anyways. If she magically brought peace to the middle east tomorrow, they'd find some other reason to not vote for her.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

They won’t be voting in the election because 85% of them are not American.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

As if anyone of them is old enough to vote. They sound like 14 at most.
