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!

The GOP’s sweeping new anti-voting bill cleared the U.S. House Wednesday, setting up a high-stakes battle in the Senate.

The House voted 218-213 to pass the SAVE America Act, which experts have said could disenfranchise millions by requiring voters to show documentary proof of citizenship at registration and to provide photo ID when they cast ballots.

Republicans have argued for voter ID broadly, pointing out that there isn’t much to prevent a noncitizen from casting a ballot in a federal election — besides the fact that it’s a felony, easily caught, and would lead to deportation all for the chance to cast one out of hundreds of thousands of votes.

The guy throwing the moltov was not a US citizen, he couldnt even buy a gun. Same for the college kids.

These are not US citizens. For the most part US citizens do not care about the middle east, politicians do somewhat. You are projecting.

Not sure what imaginary scenario you are talking about. Op just mentioned Zionist and you were like "you must be a foreign agent".

I just pointed out that was stupid and incorrect.

Ignorant people from the US are unaware of our many wars and actions in the Middle East? I suppose so.

I am from the US and I am acutely aware that the US and Israel murder innocent civilians. Both countries are absolutely Zionist shitholes.

Zionist: a supporter of Zionism; a person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel.

So you are just antisemitic? That's pretty fuckin weird ... must be MAGA if you are in the US ...still dont think you are ... you are likely paid to post this trash.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Criticism of Zionism is not criticism of Israel or Jews. Stop being a fucking tool.

Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement AKA as fascism.

So you are a fascist and a liar?

Dont argue with me, argue with Websters Dictionary, that's what I copy pasted. I cited my source. Where the fuck is yours? You aren't even American.

Insults. Nice. That is when I get marked as "winning the internet". Stay out of US discussions if you aren't American.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Hey listen, when you lie and say people aren't what they say they are you should expect some pushback. Not only am I American, I am more of one than you will ever be.

You should definitely stay out of all discussions because you are a disingenuous asshole who likes to lick fascist's boots.
