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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

I'm sorry political change feels slow to the tiktok generation, but at least you seem to understand now.
We can worry about spelling later.
Going by your username I'm older than you, also I've never had a tiktok account.
But yes, I do speak somewhat fluently a foreign languadge, thank you for noticing!
Hard not to notice
I hope you realize you are furthering the impression of not being a particoularly intelligent person.
Have a nice day nevertheless.
There's this weird phenomenon where if an IQ difference is larger than 30 points, the person on the lower side becomes confused and belligerent, believing the other person is the problem because they keep pointing out flaws in what they're saying.
It's why the line for intellectual impairments is an IQ of 70. At 30 points difference communication is hindered.
Unfortunately I've taken an actual proctored Wechsler exam... This might feel new to you, especially if you're a full standard deviation above 100.
Statistically speaking, there's just not many times you'd run into someone more than 3 standard deviations above average. Like, lemmy world is the biggest instance, assuming an equal distribution the amount of people over 145 is single digits. You very well might never interact with someone two standard deviations above you again.
So don't feel bad, I get this a lot.
This is the first time I've been accused of having a low IQ for pointing out spelling errors tho, usually it's taking steps of logic for granted and the other person can't fill in the gaps on their own.
That was very insighful, thanks!
