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!

One more way to keep us all divided and distracted from the real shit going on.
A resolution to a made up problem that also prevents them from being able to use the problem again isn't a fucking distraction. It's a solution.
JFC you black pilled fucks are annoying.
There’s that division I mentioned.
Nice Kakfa trap. The division is from dumbasses. People who are actually trying to formulate solutions, and implementing them, need to do their work.
People like you need to get out of the way.
Someone seems upset.
What solutions are you formulating and implementing? And which ones am I in the way of by commenting on a lemmy post?
Clearly you have all the answers. Teach me, o wise one.
Sure thing, buddy.
Enjoy being the first person I've ever blocked on Lemmy.
You blocked them for asking questions in a sarcastic way? How the hell are they your first block if you need that safe a safe space?
Disingenuous bullshit deserves a block.
Thank you for proving my original comment.
Isn't that comment saying that the distraction is what republicans are doing, and not what you're suggesting?
