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!

What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

I’m not a Democrat. I renounced the party.

If the case is that more people are OK with supporting him and his genocidal supporting actions than are against them, then we deserve whatever the fuck we get.

So you're okay with Trump destroying our democracy?

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nope, but you guys are gonna side with genocidal actions, so I guess we get what we actually deserve for supporting that.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So yes? "Get what we deserve" definitely sounds like you're okay with that outcome.

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fine, I’m okay with it then.

If that’s what we vote for that’s what we deserve

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fine, I’m okay with it then.

If that’s what we vote for that’s what we deserve

Cool cool cool

Just so you're on record

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 2 points 7 months ago

Yes I am on record saying that if there are enough Americans voting to support genocidal actions then we deserve whatever happens.

Every single person who does so has decided that human life is not on top of their priority list
