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!

All it tells you is we expect Trump to be shit, and know he doesn't care if we call him out on it

Why does it matter if he cares or not? Because I have a news flash for you. Biden doesn't care either. So why are you making an exception to your own rule?

Plenty of career criminals know that committing crimes could send them to prison. But they don't care. Why do we send them to prison? There's a whole bunch of irrational inconsistencies your stance opens up.

But honestly the most personally damning one with regards to people like yourself. Is you were so adamant at calling out Biden. Without a peep as to Trump etc. Plenty of uninformed uneducated people saw it. And then saw him as the better option.

No shit? Not a news flash for me, bud. The rest of the Democrats absolutely do care, unlike the Republicans and trump

So why are you making an exception to your own rule?

I'm not, as stated: we already know he's garbage. I know I gave 2 whole reasons and it's hard to keep that many thoughts in your head but I believe in you

There's a whole bunch of irrational inconsistencies your stance opens up.

Lol, if you ignore half of what I said, absolutely!

But honestly the most personally damning one with regards to people like yourself. Is you were so adamant at calling out Biden. Without a peep as to Trump

Lol, I absolutely peeped about Trump, dipshit, don't assume shit or you'll look even stupider

Plenty of uninformed uneducated people saw it. And then saw him as the better option.

Blame the idiots who voted for him and the millions of people who chose not to vote against him this time around, not the people posting on Lemmy to people who already know how bad Trump is

Whoa whoa whoa come back here with those goal posts friend. You'll hurt yourself running that fast. I hate to point it out to you. Okay maybe that's an exaggeration. That ghoul Liz Cheney carried enough to campaign for the opposition. And if a republican that objectively horrible cared. I assure you plenty of other Republicans cared too. Yes some of them had ulterior motives. Though I can at least say this for them. Their motives are much more consistent and clear than yours.


Screeching butt hurt noises after having their argument logically dismantled.


Love you too kiddo. Love you too. Just got enough to continue taking your bait. Good day.

Nothing was moved, for fucks sake you can't actually be that stupid.

Probably because you keep failing to read what was said and making (bad) assumptions about me. Which is a you problem

If you're too stupid to get why people who are acutely aware of how shit the next guy will be criticize the current guy and not him, that's on you

golf clap

the only stuff worth reading out of all that back and forth with this guy were your responses back at him.

He's the bane of lemmy's existsence and I dont understand why I have never blocked him yet. Let me take care of that right now.

"Blocked Eldritch"

ahhhhhhhhhhh. yeah.
