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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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 wonder what conservative@lemm.ee thinks. They're an entertaining bunch.
Sorry, I already showered today.
Apparently they don't want to talk about it. The only post since the debate is an unrelated article fearmongering about Haitian immigrants.
The mod there is always doing that game where he winks about how the Democrats were the slave owners during the civil war, as if the numerous political realignments since then never happened.
I got banned yesterday for posting a speech by Lincoln where he was mocking slavers because they called themselves "conservatives" despite the fact that they wanted to break long-standing prohibitions and push slavery onto the rest of the country.
He apparently didn't appreciate my demonstration that it's always been ideological conservatives who are consistently weirdo fascist losers.
Pretty quiet so far. Took a peek and the only posts in the last day are about Ohio and the influx of Haitian immigrants and one person asking what everyone thought of the debate.
So far, that post has two comments, the most upvoted one said Harris won and is the better candidate; the other with the most downvotes said that neither did a good job, that there was no winner, and that the American people lost in the debate.
That's great.
Here in my mixed political neighborhood, we have 3 houses with huge banners nailed to their fences, including a 40 ft long "FUCK BIDEN" one, a Christmas lights covered "Outlaws Trump & Vance" larp poster with them both in cowboy costumes and a few others.
We don't talk to the crazy ones, of course. However the fuck Biden banner house has a really nice old lady in her 80s living in it, so very strange...
This is the only good thing about Trump signs. It lets me know who in the neighborhood to avoid.
I went ahead and took the liberty of posting a query in there.. and surprisingly the top comment (probably wasn't a member lol) was in favour of Kamala.
Lol, no one "did a good job" at the debate? Great assertion neur, now let's see you back it up.
Pretty much what I'd expect from a trump supporter after that debate. They can't openly come out and say Kamala dominated him.. so they just grudgingly say neither did well and vaguely portend our ok imminent doom
My parents are longtime NPR fans but my mom was pissed today because NPR was basically saying this in their analysis.
