A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

"we defeat candidates at the polls"

Yeah, but not at the Electoral College, which Republicans have been 10x more effective of weaponizing than Democrats.

This whole mentality of playing by the rules against a team that's openly bragging about cheating when the stakes are this high are exactly why the Democrats have gotten their ass kicked for years against a party that's literally less popular in every way.

also, removing candidates who attempt to overthrow the government is within the rules.
trump isn't a "candidate"

Notice it's only ever "let the people decide" when they think it'll benefit them. When the people decided in multiple states to enshrine abortion rights into law, suddenly they start changing rules and talking about national bans.

Besides, I thought the elections were rigged? Good luck on voter turnout this time around.

Huh? Did you read the article? Do you know who Newsom is?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and it's being amplified by fox News. Point stands.

Newsom isn’t a republican.

I'm conflating Republicans and fox, not calling Newsom a republican.
