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!

The dnc can get fucked. I hope the only ppl that win their elections are socialist candidates that want universal healthcare, taxing the rich, et al. Maybe then the dnc will get the message
DNC will declare bankruptcy before they change their tune
The GOP will bankrupt your country and massacre thousands on thousands before they change.
Get some fucking perspective and take action instead of moping.
Isn't that the point? That we shouldn't wait for the DNC to act but take matters into our own hands? That's not moping, it's saying no one is coming to save us so we don't need permission to act.
I understand your point, but...
They're not taking matters into their own hands either. They're just waiting for someone DIFFERENT to come save them.
Isn't this the meme "I like pancakes" - "So you hate waffles?"
Recently went to a community organized meeting where we coordinated ICE watch actions, how to pressure our school board, care packages for those they release, etc. They also asked us to vote and to talk to our families about voting.
I mean, I want to have those policies and services too, but you're saying if it's a non-socialist Democrat versus a Republican, you want the Republican to win?
I'm guessing if that happens you'll get your wish for no DNC by 2028, because we'll be a state-enforced one-party system by then.
We're saying if its fascist or fascist-lite, we'll select neither in order to pressure fascist-lite to do better. And if the Dems still dont wanna then they can lose. Its the only way to prerssure them. We cant play chicken we have to give them real consequences.
I'm glad people are finally starting to understand how Tankies work. I'd be real skeptical of any lemmy_today accounts you see, they're still federated with the Tankie hive that is Hexbear. They're just Russian and Chinese trolls, the lot of them. It'll be nice once everyone decent finally makes the move over to piefed and we can start delisting all of the lemmy instances.
