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!

These crowds are incredible. Detroit was just as big. I'd post some Twitter, but you guys will whine no end.

Now why would truth social be OK with you guys and Twitter is not?

Kamala is meeting people where they’re at. Even if it’s a cesspool swamp worse than Twitter.

The truth social link points to a post by the Harris waltz campaign.

The argument isn't the presenter but the medium in which it is presented.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The medium it’s presented in has a lot of Trump supporters. Showing up and being visible in that space is important.

You're telling me. My IPTV just changed from the Olympics to the Trump news conference all by itself and I don't think I'll ever be the same.

Hell, at least Truth Social is clearly right wing; X is still pretending to be Twitter, wearing the blue bird like a skin suit.

“Put the lotion in the basket Elon…”

What would I care. For me confirmation of news happens with common sense story by story. A story can go though several modes of media before it gets to you. In fact, the whiners seem to dislike the owner of Twitter. I could give two shits because I know that a story can start in Twitter and end up on this very sub.

First time I've ever clicked a truth social link

I found that I can either accept their cookies, or get more information about why I can only accept them, which concluded my brief visit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Same here. I haven't felt filthy visiting a website in a long time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Me too! (I actually found it on mastodon)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Holy shit that’s a big crowd

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I wish I knew how to use that site but it's kinda complicated to me
