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!

Show don't tell. If you truly want to make amends for the utter chaos and despicable damage you have directly caused, spend the rest of your term fixing the damage and don't beg for reelection. Then when you don't get reelected, start pushing your networked associates to do the same. People will continue to hate your guts but you will have at least made some reparations for the harm you have done to the world.

No no no, you don't get to run from consequences

I don't forgive you

It’d be nice to have a remindmebot. Anyway, this is her voting record. I won’t say that this is my conclusion, but it’s possible that she’s just scared of being assassinated after Kirk. We’ll see whether she’ll manage to actually do something positive within a few months.

Fear of getting killed by the very people you have stirred up would be one good reason to correct one’s behavior.

She should be humble and quit.

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

So did she apologize for pushing stupid rhetorics, or misleading her followers. Or even admitting she got conned?!?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She learned this lesson, but is she actually a better person? Is she rethinking all of her odious stances and actions? I'm ready to applaud someone becoming a better person, even if she still has work to do on herself, but I'm also skeptical of any politician who sees the writing on the wall and makes a strategic course correction.

She’s just going to push her own brand of awful. Don’t think for a second that she’s grown a conscience. Probably going to make a run for prez, hardline dictator instead of stupid dictator.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

She's getting bullied by MAGA now, so yeah obviously she's now against intimidation and toxic rhetoric lol. Fuck that nazi, she still hates everyone: black people, immigrants, lgbtq+, "wokes", Don't be foul by that bleach-blonde-fascist-bitch. Do not trust these people, they will betray you.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

The only kind of apology I want from that woman is for her to resign and never be heard from in public life again.

Glad to hear you have had this epiphany, no matter how you came to it. I'll be the first to say "good for you!" if you prove your sincerity by dropping out of politics and donating the substantial monetary gains you made via your influence and insider knowledge to worthy charities, preferably those helping people you harmed by your toxic influence. Then, having proved that you've really changed, you may legitimately continue speaking out against political hate and violence as a penance.

well, some people may need just more time to grow up
