Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

The swamp people are going all in on her being a crazed ketamine addict. Which is good, it means they're afraid.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hadn't heard that one yet but I definitely know a guy who fits that description

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

Swamp people or ketamine addict? Maga has both

[–] PapaSkwat@lemmy.wtf 1 points 4 days ago

Yep, and the only way I'll vote Democrat. If they don't pick her, then I'll vote third party again. And Lemmy will be really really mad about it.

A.k.a: we're fucked.

[–] core@leminal.space 9 points 5 days ago

Got a bunch of reruns that didn't make it last time. Love that establishment Ds run the party and are only interested in keeping their power. I hope they get fucked with a rake.

No hillary huh. Weird. And no Newsom? 😂

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Harris. You had your chance and it didn't happen. Just sit back, shut up, and float AOC.
