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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Elon Musk’s America PAC has dropped $100 million to support the GOP in critical races that could control the future of the Senate. It includes TV commercials, digital ads, and a social media blitz across platforms Musk owns and platforms he doesn’t. The eleventh-hour push is a brazen attempt to stoke the anti-trans moral panic and turn equal rights for transgender people into a make-or-break…

How could we, as a global society, ever allow a single person to amass so much wealth that they could spend that much money on political ads, while it leaving no impact at all on their lifestyle?

What a piece of shit. Guy needs to go.

How many white south africans have immigrated to america so far? Musk is placing his chess pieces while all of this other trumpian bullshit is providing the smoke and mirrors.

Trillionaire found a couple of hundred Mil down the back of his sofa and is having Oligarchy style fun with it

Cool, so I guess the tradeoff is: we won't have to suffer under an agenda of "trans for everyone" and "men in women's sports" and obviously those were really real problems everyone was dealing with. 🙄

In exchange for that, we have coverup for pedo rings, endless Middle East wars, donnie self-dealing to the tune of billions, ICE run amok, unaffordable health care, kids dying from measles and other preventable diseases, a food supply we cannot trust, an AI data center in everyone's backyard, unaffordable fuel, runaway inflation, a future run by oligarchs who want you all jobless and replaced by AI, etc...

But thank god that I don't have to put up with men in women's sports!!!111

Hey, you left out no food and water and everything either on fire or under the sea.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Hey, you left out the part where they progressively automate away the human workforce, and use AI killbots to mass murder the unemployed until they reach a sustainable population of slaves they can use to rape, hunt for sport, etc.

[–] YouTalkinToMe@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I never realised he was trans.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck that guy. He's always rubbed me the wrong way.

Oh man he gave me a squeezer one time that almost caused gangrene.

And focusing on someone else's life decisions will surely solve all the issues people have in their own lives.... not.

With an additional benefit of pumping up Twitter's ad revenue! Guy's like taking cash from one pocket and putting it into another.
