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!

Hehehehehehehe.

Fuck Ed Sheeran, I despised him before it was popular.

Ed Sheeran Is definitely in the wrong too but man people need to direct this anger at the stadium owners too they are at fault too

By boycotting the concerts at their venues, you are directing anger at them, and hurting them financially.

His backing band and all opening acts pulling out means the tour should be cancelled, and that's hitting Kraft and other venue owners right where it hurts.

Hurting rich people financially never ever makes them change who they are.

Unfortunately for him, he will be the poster child of cowardice for the next 10 years.

Hated to see this happen to someone but it's about fucking time it did happen to someone.

But then again, I don't hate that it happened to him. Because if that's the way he is, then that's the way it is.

“I have spent this week trying to build bridges, to find a solution and unfortunately, was unable to do so.

I tried so hard to find a middle ground between the genocide supporters and everyone else and I just can't seem to do it. People who hate genocide are just so rigid and uncompromising!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 8 minutes ago

On one side, most people seem to dislike genocide. On the other hand, Eddie really like money.

I just don't see how to solve this moral and ethical dilemma

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

My take is, if you don't like genocide just don't partake in it. Then everybody gets what they want.
