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!

Yeah like choose to find places that will hire you rather than ones that say they went with someone else. Duh.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

How fucking stupid does a person of color have to be, to be a fucking republikkklan? She may be "one of the good ones" now, like Stephen Fucking Cheung, but they will be rejected and turned upon when other prey are scarce. Deservedly.

Bad choices of those on SNAP…

  1. Joined military to serve my country and this is how they treat me!
  2. Worked for government, got DOGE’d, and no one is hiring!
  3. Picked the wrong birth parents and at 6 no one will hire me!
  4. Lost job over 50 and those kids won’t hire me!
  5. Lost job to AI and I went to Standford!
  6. Pro-life and kept my baby! 7)…fill in the blank

They call it the American dream but always, always forget that the math just doesn't work if everyone fulfils it. This so-called American dream fundamentally requires that the other 99 get trampled under. But they keep on selling the same rhetoric, and Americans fall for it, again and again and again and again

Hey hungry people who cannot afford food, look at my fancy new ballroom that you paid for!

-tRump, effectively.

Choices like "GOP strategists should be ignored by everyone". This is the nice version.

[–] comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu 7 points 10 months ago

I'm not American, but how do you spell "eat shit"? I want every GOP voter to "eat shit", cause the plague is spreading even to my longitudes. Help me out, thanks in advance.

Compost them and grow healthy mushrooms.

Lindi li needs to have some empathy slapped into her with a shovel.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Or instead a shovel maybe with a chair. To the face.

[–] suddenlyme@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

Like living in a better country maybe

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Another clueless twat who thinks those decisions can be anything other than starvation.

I want to choose what family to be born in, but apparently I can't.

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

I'm surprised Maga hasn't deported her yet

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

I know the USA's media landscape is extremely fucked but still, I'm amazed "starving socialist beasbeasts" isn't called out for the raving lunacy that it is.

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 2 points 10 months ago

It's America's team game to make regular humans revolt so they can make changes to our slave terms and conditions.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 2 points 10 months ago

Better choices like killing the people who put them there?
