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!

On Friday afternoon, America PAC posted a video ad attacking Trump's opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. "America really can't afford a 'C-Word' in the White House right now," America PAC posted, adding a laughing emoji. "Kamala Harris is a ‘C word,’" the narrator of the ad says. "You heard that right. A big ole ‘C word.’"

The "joke" of the ad is that Harris is a "communist." Of course, Harris is not a communist. And the ad makes no effort to show she is a communist. The line is only included as a pretext to repeatedly use a crass, misogynistic slur against Harris.

Is the joke that they really mean the N-word?

you know you never had any ideas when you have to resort to the kindergarten "boys are better than girls" strategy

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Trump is literally playing "it's a man's world" as an intro and outro for his rallies.

[–] hypnotoad__@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

I just watched the interview of James brown saying that as a response to a question about his divorce while high as fuck on live tv. Can't make this shit up.

[–] credo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You know, it was tough, but in the end we won. With 11 boys for and 10 girls against.

Donald Trump is the mother of all cunts (the kind person not, vajayjays)

Holy shit. It's the ASSMAN!

"It's a one in a million shot doc. One in a million"

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We all know the proper response, but imma say it anyway:

Trump is not a cunt; he lacks the depth and warmth

[–] Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

And resilience and integrity. All of these things can be attributed to cunts. What a dick.

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

In the history of politics

They do realise that there were political ads during the suffragette movement, right?

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 25 points 1 day ago

How did I know Elon was attached to this before I even clicked the article?

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump and Vance are bigger cunts, to be fair and balanced.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As the joke goes, they can't be because they lack the depth and the warmth.

They're more like assholes- they only exist to spew shit and their worldview is upside down.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago

Them being giant assholes also says a lot about the people who do everything to support them.

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 day ago

Wake me up when she proposes a centrally planned economy. Otherwise Fuck off with misogynistic bullshit.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

A crumbbuffler?

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

DRAG QUEENS are RUINING our Children's Morals but me and my 6 year old Son laughed HARD at this Ad!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Britain had their iron cunt, and while she was evil she did get her way. So maybe we could stand for Kamala to be our iron cunt, but this time for good.

I know I’m succeeding when insecure men call me misogynistic names. And few men are as insecure as musk and trump

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Being delusional, disconnected conservatives, they don't realise that cunty is a compliment these days.

[–] Nytixus@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 1 day ago

Well, this country cannot afford another Donald Dump of Bullshit.

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I’d change "a" to "someone" for better grammar: "America really can’t afford someone competent in the White House right now 😂". That’s what they meant, right?

[–] Heikki@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

The whole Twitter posting reads like a child who thinks they did their homework right.
