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!

I’m still on the fence about whether I can stomach knowing that I voted for the genocidal monster that can barely remember his name because he’s better than the fascist genocidal monster that wants to end whatever semblance of democracy we might have. This country is just the worst.

WOULD YOU RATHER eat a chocolate bar off a public toilet seats lid.

OR WOULD YOU RATHER Eat a chocolate bar out of a public toilet bowl.

It could be worse. We could have a dictator that regulates literally everything we do. My porn is anonymous for now.

But he's the lesser of two evils! Doesn't that get you motivated to get to the polls on November? Lesser!

And yet, it doesn't. It's incredibly easy to not choose either, believe it or not.

[–] kcuf@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

It's unfortunately nothing new, but I do think the alternative is a new level of bad.

Literally every single US president since 1948 has assisted Israel in committing genocide against Palestinians. Don't clutch your pearls now.

"That's the way we've always done it" - people who like the way we've always done it.

Genocide must stop.

You’d prefer to have voted for Trump?

These kinds of comments are getting obvious. You’re string here bitching about Biden, when we can all agree the alternative would be worse.

Go peddle your bullshit elsewhere.
