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!

People who defend a fascist regime just get flushed yeah.

People who can’t provide source for their information are disinformation agent or highly regarded individuals; you tell me, which one are you? Getting so offended over asking for source tells me you’re just a sham trying to sway an opinion

Do you think that if a person is a MAGA, they should be treated poorly?

Do you think if they are treated poorly, it’s up to that person to provide “evidence” to other non-involved people?

[–] Apathy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I, personally do not care about the political alignment of an individual as long as they can reason and provide credibility for their claims.

I know and understand how trump is a corrupt individual but that does not mean I should go around making claims just because it will hurt him.

If a MAGA is treated poorly and they don’t have proof of that mistreatment then it’s simply an opinionated claim at that point until proven otherwise.

What does this have to do with the ‘700 billion claim’ you made though?

[–] velindora@lemmy.cafe -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s cracking a joke about corruption, and having you-a MAGA-say “if you can’t prove it by showing me evidence that you’d never have access to in the first place then you must be wrong”

Please stop making comments on the internet unless you provide hard evidence to support your opinion.

You’re a joke.

You’re actually mentally handicapped it seems, I’ll pray for you.

For your information I’m a registered democrat and voted in a democratic mayor in the recent ballot.

Keep living in your deranged world though ☺️

I’m sure that you will pray to God to solve your problems

Look. This is Lemmy. If the crime of taking me way too literally made people not worth talking to, I'd be damn near alone on this site.

[–] velindora@lemmy.cafe 0 points 2 days ago

I never said I wouldn’t talk to them.
