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!

And all of the accounts that I've been tagging here for the past several months doing everything they fucking could to get Trump elected? Nowhere to be seen. What a shock.

Lemmy's universe is fairly small potatoes for an election this big

Pretty sure you can just reuse your Reddit bot to spam here. If you're already running one it's not much effort to expand.

There's no bots posing as real users. If there were any unlabeled bots, the developers and admins of literally every instance would love to know.

Centrists will never admit that Netanyahu played them. It can never be the fault of the center. Ever. So any dissent cannot be from people of conscience that actually dislike what the party was doing. That's absurd! Such people cannot actually exist, as centrists' positions are self-evidently good in all cases! It makes perfect sense that an international conspiracy tanked the election by pretending to have a problem with genocide on a fledgling platform full of angry centrists who have only one policy they'll never abandon. That really can be the only possible conclusion.

Why should Dimitri log into any of his burner accounts? The job is done.

I'm one of the people you tagged in a self-righteous snit. Just had a ban end.

Genocide is still wrong. Democrats never had any business supporting it. And I'm not leaving just because of your veiled accusations that people who don't like genocide are Russian bots.
