The irony of this coming from the NYT, who had to both-sides us right into this shit, not once, but TWICE.
Because Hillary and Kamala would have been just as bad, BidenSoOld and something something Gaza. 🙄

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!

Hey, NYT, nice way to frame what you've been doing since twenty-fucking-fifteen!
Maybe if any of the US media had ever had any fucking balls (or weren't owned by oligarchs) we wouldn't be at this point.
This is what media consolidation gets you. Thanks Bill Clinton and US congress for the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which kicked off this media consolidation frenzy.
Fuck both Clintons. They enabled this mess to begin with.
They fear economic retribution. Fuck those cowards.
Trading your lives for their profits.
Well take a look at our leadership.
We currently have Hakeem Jeffries basically cowering in the corner like a little bitch and Chuck Schumer saying Jeffries should ask New York republicans to cooperate out of the kindness of their hearts because there's nothing he can do in the Senate.
And all we have is one guy trying to bring attention to the problem but everybody complaining that he's too old, and a minority woman that is deeply unpopular outside of her home district and nobody wants to listen to because she's a minority woman, while the rest of the party is trying to appease the Republicans. I feel like we've been here before.......
Not us here at Lemmy. Fuck Trump. Someone get me in front of his face so I can say it with gusto and a little bit of spit.
Fuck you I won't do what you tell me
This reads like it's supposed to chill the readers, not tell them who is starting to shut up and take it.
Anyone else notice that? Or am I hallucinating
