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!

Downvoted by shills, bots, trolls, et al?

Not that it's going to matter, honestly.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

None of the above, but not going to blindly believe anything I read on a random blog on the internet though. Please have a little more logic/skepticism than MAGA at least. Follow ETA or SMART for more reasonable analyses, but still take those with a big grain of salt, because they could also just be grifters out for donations (or they could be legit).

Crazy that it's been proven the election was stolen, but Neoliberals have conditioned idiots to pretend that the process is infallible, so the truth is ignored.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, stop sharing this bullshit. It's such a random claim out of left field with no actual evidence. Until he brings real evidence, it's all just the same as MAGA 2020 election denial stuff.

There are some interesting analyses by ETA and SMART, but even those are pretty lacking still.

You thought both sides were the same for a good bit of your life didn't you?

There's statistical evidence and resistance to recounts. And panzys like yourself who don't understand why Russia breached US elections multiple time to do "nothing". Because screaming the other side is cheating while you do your cheating preparations is a pre-digital strategy.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

lol you have no idea who you're talking to. I think we should do some recounts because there are some odd anomalies, as I said about ETA. However, this substack post is very lacking in actual evidence other than "trust me bro".

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

A nobody. You don't matter. Trust me bro.

The post should be igniting further inquiry. It is lacking but it's also feels like there should be more news on this to prove or disprove. Instead let's treat it like some crazy conspiracy like rich people fucking kids on an secret island...

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

haha ok, you should go outside for a bit and take a walk probably

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Just ran a mile. Fuck off. Read.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Nice! You're still too angry though
