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!

My brother in Christ I have voted straight ticket Democrat in every single election I have every participated in, which has been every single one I can. And your assumption that I'm a single issue voter makes me feel like you're making a lot of assumptions about who I am, which is frustrating
I am not a single issue voter. And I consistently show up and vote democrat. Please don't make the assumption that I fit into the caricature of "only cares about one issue and won't vote"
And yet you're in here talking shit about them to everyone who will listen. Great job, asshole.
Yes, I would like better representation than I have, and that means being willing to criticize the party's failings 😅
I don't thing the process of democracy really works if people just have blind allegiance to a party. I'm frustrated that my best choice has consistently let me down, that doesnt make me an asshole.
I'd very much like for them to fix their shit, I think defeating fascism depends on it, and that means recognizing the ways they've fallen short.
Well I would like better representation than the GO-fucking-P but about 6 or 7 Million People who were willing to vote for Joe Biden in 2020 decided to stay the fuck home in 2024. We can talk about which DNC are best after we remove the existential threats from power, maybe even get the DNC enough senate seats to overturn Citizens United.
Here is what I think: I think you're astroturfing. I don't think you give a fuck about progress, you want the GOP to stay in power.
If we're at the part of the conversation where we accuse eachother of being a psyop or secretly pro-fascism because we disagree on how to solve our problems I think probably we're past any hope this might be a worthwhile conversation
You can take a look at my history if you really think that. I think the way I choose to engage with people leaves it pretty unambiguous whether I'm engaging with people in good faith. My previous main is @Cris_Color@lemmy.world if you think three months of history is a red flag of some sort.
Take care.
