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!

What is being missed here is
EVEN MARGERY TAYLOR GREEN IS GETTING SUPPORT BY TELLING THE TRUTH
which leads us to ask
DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE, WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!?!?!
There's no money in it
This. No one needs to look any further. We are not being lead, we are being fleeced.
If there weren't, MTG wouldn't be doing it. There is less money in it than their current strategy.
Not necessarily, she's young by politician standards and she understands the old geezer leader her party is going to die leaving a charisma void and eventually a clusterfuck party-imploding. Building popularity right now is her correctly reading the writing on the wall and making investments in this eventuality.
Listen, I know its nice to point at MTG and go "omg shits so fucked even this psychotic bitch can see the truth"
But thats not the case.
MTG is a fucking opportunist.
She seen the writing on the wall with Trumps second term and is pulling a Meghan McCain, in that shes trying to position herself infront of Cameras saying stuff that sounds reasonable to try and salvage a political career and potentially have a position of leadership in the post trump era, and especially in the post-trump republican party.
Don't let her con you into liking her, believing her, or supporting her, just because shes now saying shit you believe and agree with. Because she pulled that shit already with the right wing and extremists... and she does it easily because she doesnt believe it. Shes a vile opportunist who would spew anything if she thought it'd let her maintain her power, or obtain more.
Their comment however was not about simping MTG. It was questioning Democrats sucking ass.
There is no effective difference between the parties, the reason the Dems are as weak as the GOP are grifters is because they all have the same donors.
We flush incumbent dems out this year, all of 'em. Then see what happens after we shake the Yahtzee dice.
Give em hell
There's a tidal-wave of sudden pro-establishment democrat accounts being made across Lemmy right now. Check the account ages when you see them, you'll notice many are less than a month old.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence though.
Surely.
