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!

Yah you could be like me and vote for Jill Stein in protest of the Democrats not being progressive enough, end up with 4 years of fucking Trump instead, and then later find out Jill Stein has been taking money from Russia, the most belligerent enemies of democracy and rule of law on this planet.
So yah, you have other even more shitty options to avail yourselves of until 4 years from now when we're not even a fucking democracy anymore.
There are other candidates besides Stein though.
Yeah, like the candidate you voted for: Pro-Israel candidate Rachele Fruit. Quoted earlier this year:
And then when called out for it, you were proud of voting for someone who's supporting Palestinian genocide. Despite complaining about Harris "not doing enough". You're either a liar or a hypocrite.
BTW, you might want to be careful spamming more comments with copy/paste nonsense - you already had a bunch removed today for just that reason. Which I guess makes you a spammer, doesn't?
Yep, I did vote for her. Sent in the ballot yesterday. I've never denied it. You've posted about it several times and each time I've not only admitted it, but said I was happy and proud to. Not sure why you keep posting it. You're free to do that, but I've already made a post about it: https://lemmy.world/post/20821124
Here's the modlog: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1252
My comments were answering someone who was copying/pasting the same comment about me several times in a row. So I answered each one. Mine were removed and his comments were removed too. Funny how you left that part out. But here ya go:
So let's recap - in just the past couple of weeks you got a temp ban for trolling and then engaged in spamming replies because… "He started it!"
You like to pretend you get the reaction you do because of your support for third-parties, but in reality it just seems you're getting back what you put out there. Perhaps if you engaged in good faith in anyway, you wouldn't receive the reaction you do? But that's the point, isn't? You have made yourself literally the worst possible voice for the ideals you pretend to hold. Much like the third party candidates you are so fond of propagandizing for.
You're free to believe whatever you want about my motivations. Not my concern. Modlog and my post log are public and I've posted direct links to both several times. Thank you! :)
